Title: Changing Mindsets: Empowering Students for Better Hearing Health
Alternate tite:
Changing mindsets: Empowering students for better hearing health
Description:
As part of the student fair at the Faculty of Medicine, Universidad de Chile, we held an awareness event to celebrate World Hearing Day 2025. The activity focused on promoting hearing health among students and university staff. We performed hearing screenings using the HearWHO app, otoscopic examinations, and distribution of educational materials. The main focus was placed on the prevention and early detection of hearing loss, particularly related to recreational noise exposure in young people. By actively engaging students, the event aimed to empower participants and to promote positive attitudes toward hearing care.
