En lenguaje claro
This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia Senate, not a change to state law. It designates February 10, 2025, as Georgia Hearing Day at the state capitol, an observance started by the Georgia Society of Hearing Professionals to raise awareness about hearing loss and hearing care. The resolution cites statistics on hearing loss, including its links to cognitive decline, dementia, and depression, and its financial costs to affected households and the broader economy. It encourages Georgia residents to protect their hearing and to seek regular checkups from licensed hearing health professionals such as audiologists, hearing aid specialists, or otolaryngologists. It also directs the Secretary of the Senate to distribute copies of the resolution to the public and press.
