Designates May of each year as "Better Hearing Month."
AJR 140 designates May of each year as "Better Hearing Month" in New Jersey. This procedural resolution does not create new laws but formally recognizes an existing observance since 1927. It aims to increase public awareness about hearing loss, which affects an estimated 850,000 New Jersey residents, and encourages residents to seek screenings and treatment. The resolution requests the Governor issue an annual proclamation to promote awareness and highlight the role of audiologists in addressing hearing health.
