Primary region: WPR
Country: Philippines
Event Description:
The QMMC Department of ORL-HNS celebrates World Hearing Day 2025 with a two-day affair of 1) hearing screening of hospital employees and residents of Brgy. Escopa, 2) audio-visual presentations featuring common ear diseases, proper ear care, and prevention of hearing loss, and 3) training of community health workers on ear examination and tuning fork testing. Ear examination and hearing screening using the HearWho application as well as manual and automated screening audiometers will be performed. It is envisioned to boost health promotion activities in the community on primary ear and hearing health care, and bridge them to secondary (medical treatment) and tertiary prevention (surgical and rehabilitative treatment) activities in the hospital in the future.
