Ida Institute has launched Ideas Worth Hearing, an Ideas Catalog featuring some of the best ideas from among the more than 400 ideas generated by the Ideas, Speak up - Action and Awareness for Hearing Loss campaign. Available online at https://www.ideasworthhearing.com/, the Ideas Catalog is designed to provide opportunities that will enable people and groups from around the world to take action and start raising awareness for hearing loss in their communities.
Ideas selected for the catalog include those that have the potential to be implemented and adapted to local, regional or national needs. The easy-to-navigate website enables visitors to discover projects that suit their capabilities whether they have minutes, hours, or days to contribute.
Ideas for Individuals range from simple, at-home behavior changes such as reading books with children that introduce them to the concepts of hearing health and hearing loss, to more dedicated initiatives, such as mounting a campaign to post messages on coffee cups and sleeves to spread information about hearing loss.
Ideas for groups invite clinics, schools, nonprofit organizations and businesses to call upon the power of a concerted effort to bring ideas to life. Educational initiatives that create hearing loss awareness among teachers, students and the general public can be custom fit to the resources and commitment levels of groups. For business, a variety of innovative ideas that require short or long-term mobilization and varying levels of investment create programs that have the added advantage of strengthening relationships with customers and community.
Ida Institute encourages people to visit Ideas Worth Hearing at www.ideasworthhearing.com and find inspiration on how they can make a difference and raise awareness of hearing loss.
