Title: Encouraging Early Screening – World Hearing Day 2025
Alternate tite:
Encouraging early screening – World Hearing Day 2025
Description:
Factories were visited, and workers were encouraged to check their hearing. The HearWHO app was introduced as a primary tool for self-screening. We gave tips on how to use the app. Earplugs were distributed to encourage ear protection in noisy workplaces. Some schoolchildren were educated on how to protect their hearing and also ensure the safety of their ears. Printed resources encouraging ear and hearing protection were donated to the schools. A radio program was held to educate and encourage mothers and would-be mothers on how to check the hearing of their babies when a health facility is not in their village. Flyers and other resources were distributed on our various social media pages. We had the opportunity to interact with many people on social media.
