Impactful Story:
We had conducted the awareness program for the first time in this location. We shall be expecting success stories in the future. Many older individuals were discussing hearing screening in their communities, which results in early detection of hearing loss for them. Many young people expressed concerns about using headphones for an extended period of time. We urged them not to use it for an extended period of time and to practice safe listening.
