Analyse de l'application hearWHO pour le 5 décembre

All people should check their hearing from time to time, especially those who are at a higher risk of hearing loss such as adults above 50 years, those working in noisy places, those listening to music at high volumes for long periods of time and those experiencing ear problems. Services for early identification and intervention should be made available through the health system. | Want to connect with hearWHO? | Check out our website: https://www.who.int Like and Follow us on Facebook: https://web.facebook.com/WHO/ Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/WHO | Limitations | The accuracy of your test results will depend on the type of headphones you use, as well as the ambient noise level.
