At Elacin, we are passionate about initiatives that help people take better care of their hearing and appreciate the sounds around them. One of the most inspiring events in this area is the UNESCO Week of Sound, held every January. This global initiative encourages conscious listening and responsible sound practices in everyday life, at work, in music, and throughout culture.
UNESCO, the United Nations organization for education, science, culture, and communication, supports projects like this to raise public awareness and promote understanding of sound, hearing health, and the world of listening.
Started in France in 2004 by La Semaine du Son and officially recognized by UNESCO in 2017, the Week of Sound now inspires countries around the world to host events that educate and engage people about the value of sound.
Key themes of the Week of Sound include:
- Hearing health, promoting awareness and prevention
- Acoustics and the sound environment, addressing noise and urban sound planning
- Sound recording and preservation, safeguarding sound heritage
- The relationship between image and sound, exploring media and communication
- Musical expression and education, supporting creativity and learning
The Week of Sound brings together workshops, debates, concerts, film screenings, and educational programs, all designed to highlight the importance of sound in everyday life.
At Elacin, we believe that conscious listening and responsible hearing protection go hand in hand. Protecting your hearing today ensures that you can enjoy the sounds that matter tomorrow safely, clearly, and comfortably.
