The  WHO-ITU  Global  standard  is  the  result  of  a  collaboration  between  the  World  Health  Organization  (WHO)  and  the  International  Telecommunication  Union  (ITU),  and  has  been  developed  in  response  to  the  growing  prevalence  of  hearing  loss  and  the  threat  to  hearing  posed  by  unsafe  listening.  The  WHO-ITU  Global  standard  has  been  deve-lo-ped  using  an  evidence-based and consultative process, with the participation of experts in the field of sound, audiology, acoustics, communication, and smartphone technology.This  toolkit  outlines  the  need  for  hearing  loss  prevention  and  describes  how  WHO  and  ITU  have  shaped their response to this. It summarizes the WHO-ITU Global standard in a simplified way and provides a step-wise approach for implementation by three main partners in the field of hearing loss prevention:• Governments• Industry• Civil society
