Organization: Hauwa
Project title: How to take care of your ears
Primary region: AFR
Country: Nigeria
Event Description:
Many people are using earphones without knowing the effects on their ears. To Sound Pressure Levels (SPL) above 85 dB over 8 hours is potentially damaging to the ears. Unfortunately, many people may be unaware of the adverse effects of such SPL on the ear and quality of life. The level of awareness of hearing taking care of our ears is not adequate in our region, Some even seek ear care from unauthorized facilities and persons who often recommended inappropriate medications and treatment. The awareness of how sound levels cause hearing loss in our environment is pivotal. We will also encourage people about good ear hygiene and safety measures to take when their in hazardous environment, travelling or bathing. I will hire hall for the world hearing day event. Will invite people and lecture them, and I will also use social media and print and distribute flyers in my society.
