The Important of Cochlear Implant in Congenital Deafness

Did You Have A World Hearing Day Event Last Year: Yes, but we did not submit a report

Other Suggestions:

Our government, including the Ministry of Health, does not consider the importance of hearing loss, especially congenital deafness.
Special HA for severe deafness in congenital deafness and Cochlear implants are not yet provided so that many congenitally deaf children do not receive proper therapy for hearing and are left to become speech-impaired children.
They will act if there is a warning from WHO.
