Recently, the Hear The World Foundation published a calendar for 2016 with stars such as Tina Turner, Eros Ramazzotti, Léa Seydoux and Anastacia. They have all been photographed by Bryan Adams for the Hear the World calendar in the pose for conscious hearing. Captured with their hands cupped behind their ear, they help raise awareness about the importance of hearing and hearing loss.
You could win a copy of the calendar by entering our contest. You only had to answer the question “How many children are born each year with significant hearing loss?” – and you could find the answer either in our recent post or in the video. Everyone who entered the competition got a little surprise!

Thank you for supporting an excellent cause! I’ve recently been exposed to sign language with small groups of people who are deaf or hard of hearing. It is encouraging me to learn sign language myself as a second language. It’s a beautiful expression of words! Godspeed.
