The initiative includes various projects catering to the hearing needs of diverse age and patient groups. The center will facilitate a lay forum and conduct hearing screenings for both patients and staff. Specialized ENT evaluations, concentrating on ear pathologies and hearing thresholds, will be extended to the institution’s Hansenite patients.
