Proactively Thinking for Others
Since 2015, the World Health Organization
(WHO) has initiated the "Make Listening Safe"
advocacy campaign, aiming to create a world
where people of all ages can enjoy leisure
listening without risking hearing damage, thus
changing listening habits and behaviors. Data
indicates that over 1 billion people are at risk
of hearing loss due to unsafe recreational
listening behaviors. In 2023, with the increasing popularity of esports globally, there has
been a rise in situations where individuals
are exposed to high-volume environments for
extended periods, leading to severe hearing
health issues. To address this public health
concern, the International Telecommunication
Union (ITU) and the World Health Organization (WHO) are considering launching a leading policy on safe listening.

平凡偉人 不凡故事
從線上到線下，傳唱平凡人的故事 - 台灣幸福進行曲
美律自 2004 年起贊助古典音樂台製播台灣幸福進行曲節目，至今已經 20 年，長期持續報導許多默默為台灣這塊土地與人民長期奉獻的「平凡偉人」，期望這些美好故事所展現的向上力量，能讓人見賢思齊，營造共好的公民社會。2023 年，台灣幸福進行曲以 SDGs 為題，共有七段主旋律，並符合八項SDG1、SDG2、SDG3、SDG10、SDG11、SDG14、 SDG15、SDG17，共採訪 24 位受訪者，78 篇文稿產生。
幸福進行曲的故事主角們，以最實際的行動來表達對這片土地的熱愛，節目自2004 製播以來累積採訪的人數無數，關心的議題更趨多元化，多年來得到許多的共鳴與感動迴響，因此美律在2007、2013 年分別斥資百餘萬，製作幸福進行曲有聲書，精選廣播內容到實體的有聲書中，讓大家能夠一聽再聽，也更易於收藏與分享。近年來更延伸議題觸角，除了專注於既有的台灣土地與人文關懷外，更擴大至海洋、行動、美學、新住民與海外人士等議題，豐富而多元。
