Impactful Story:
We were busy examining the people with ear and hearing problem. Suddenly, I realized six children were watching. When I talked to them, one of the children did not responded and found out her as speech delayed child. History revealed her as low birth weight. Her other siblings have no hearing problem and speech. After otoscopy, conditional play and audiometry was done and hearing aid was fitted (Photo attached). When we took group photos, she sit on my lap, smiling. She is now so motivated that we were also motivated to carry on with our community based hearing care.
