Title: Promoting Hearing Health in the Community
Alternate tite:

Promoting hearing health in the community

Description:

Otolaryngologists, audiologists, and medical students provided ear and hearing services to 60 members of the local community. Educational videos were also posted on social media and around the hospital to educate employees on proper ear and hearing care. Employees and community members were all encouraged to participate in an interactive “What’s your hearing number?” campaign to make them more aware about their hearing status using a freely downloadable hearing app.
