The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that half of all causes of hearing loss can be prevented through public health measures.1 There are no specific figures available about what proportion of those public health interventions can be channelled through, or carried out, at Primary Health Care (PHC) level. However, the authors of this article firmly believe that the prevention of hearing loss at this level of care can and should have the greatest impact.
