Outline of the event:

Our event’s aim is to remove the stigma associated with hearing amplification. This event will feature a series of lectures to the public and to medical professionals to spread awareness about hearing loss and to highlight the importance of hearing screenings for newborns and elderly. The event will also include a diverse exhibition and free hearing screening for 50 individuals. Throughout the month of March, we will continue to spread awareness through talks and engagements with high school students in 9 Lebanese schools.
