Good hearing is essential for communication, relationships, and overall health, yet millions worldwide experience hearing loss. This year’s theme is “Ear and hearing care for all”.
• Hearing loss can happen at any age, from babies to older adults.
• Common causes include age, exposure to loud noise, ear infections, and certain medications.
• Untreated hearing loss can affect mental health, social life, and quality of life.
📌 𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐤 𝐭𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐆𝐏 𝐨𝐫 𝐚𝐮𝐝𝐢𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐢𝐬𝐭:
• If you notice difficulty hearing, ringing in the ears (tinnitus), or sudden changes in hearing.
• If you experience frequent ear infections or pain.
• If hearing loss is affecting daily life or communication.
💡 Tips for healthy hearing:
• Protect your ears from loud noise (e.g., concerts, headphones).
• Have regular hearing checks, especially if you notice changes.
• Manage long-term conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure, which can impact hearing.
Early detection and treatment make a real difference; hearing loss doesn’t have to mean loss of life quality.

• Heavy or prolonged periods.
• Pelvic, lower tummy or back pain.
• Pain during or after s*x.

Symptoms vary from person to person, and some people may have few or no symptoms.

If period pain or other symptoms are affecting your everyday life, work, or relationships, or if symptoms aren’t improving with treatment, please contact us, you don’t have to struggle in silence.
There’s currently no cure for endometriosis, but treatments such as pain relief, hormonal therapies and sometimes surgery can help manage symptoms. Early discussion can make a real difference.
