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.
