Hearing health matters: Building healthy hearing habits from schools
Description:
We will organize a one-day hearing health orientation and awareness program for teenage students and teachers in selected public schools. Using the WHO Basic Ear and Hearing Care Resource Manual, the session will feature short presentations, group discussions, quizzes, and role-play to engage participants actively.
The key topics will include how hearing works, common causes and signs of problems, prevention strategies, and practical do’s and don’ts.
The HearWHO app will be introduced to support self-screening, along with guidance on when professional care is needed.
Teachers will be oriented to reinforce key messages, and students will be encouraged to share hearing care information with families and communities.
Children requiring further assessment or treatment will be referred to CHEERS, ensuring follow-up care beyond awareness and screening.
