Georgia Hearing Day; recognize February 23, 2026
This resolution (SR 815) is a symbolic recognition, not a law. It formally designates February 23, 2026, as "Georgia Hearing Day" at the state capitol to raise public awareness about hearing health. The resolution cites statistics on hearing loss impacts (like cognitive decline and income effects) and promotes seeking care from licensed professionals like audiologists. It was adopted by the Georgia Senate on February 19, 2026, and directs the Senate Secretary to distribute the resolution publicly.
