Project title: Debunking misconceptions and myths about hearing loss

Regions: [86] [10] [14] [17] [20] [23] [102]

Outline of the event:

We have created infographic materials that debunk misconceptions and myths about hearing loss and deafness. This is in line with this years theme of changing mindsets. These materials will be distributed on various social media platforms and on our website for future usage. The aim is for easy distribution that can be wide spread. We will also distribute these to individuals in other parts of South Africa, with the aim for the materials to be accessed beyond our Province. We have also added some tips to the infographics on how hearing people can make a difference.
