Title: Hearing Loss Awareness and Screening Program
Description: On World Hearing Day, NYU Langone Health collaborated with local and faith-based groups in Brooklyn, NY to conduct hearing screenings and promote awareness about hearing loss. Throughout the week, 877 informative brochures in multiple languages were circulated among the residents. A screening event was organized at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Roman Catholic Church on March 1st, 2023, where 35 individuals, both children, and adults, were screened for hearing loss. Those who failed the screening were given referrals for further action. Additionally, on March 3rd, 2023, NYU Langone Health hosted a virtual discussion involving 50 community stakeholders, focusing on the occurrence, symptoms, implications, and treatment of hearing loss. The session was facilitated by an otolaryngologist at NYU Langone Health.
