Organization: Premier 101 Ear, Nose, Throat, Head and Neck Center
Project title: KISAP – VALENZUELA (KONTRA INGAY SA ATING PABRIKA – VALENZUELA CITY)
Regions: Philippines
Outline of the event:
In the Philippines, there is little to no published data on the number of noise-induced hearing loss. However, it is among the common cases encountered by our local ENT specialists and hearing care professionals. In line celebration of World Hearing Day 2023, this project aims to supplement, strengthen, and monitor the existing hearing conservation program for working adults exposed to industrial noise in a factory (Daichi Metal Products Corporation as the pilot factory/center), in Valenzuela City, the industrial factory capital of the Philippines. This is an excellent starter program as we aim to eventually create a database and conduct a prevalence study about industrial noise-induced hearing loss in the Philippines.
