Audiological evaluations (Tonal Audiometry, Logo audiometry, Tympanometry, and Otacoustic-emissions) will be provided for adolescents and adults, with the collaboration of our staff and Hospital’s staff. Educational materials on ear and hearing care will also be shared. An awareness talk will be given at Escuela Itzamna for children in grades1-6, focusing on hearing care. Additionally, an art contest will be launched for primary students at Escuela Itzamna, inviting them to create original drawings related to ear care and World Hearing Day. The winners, chosen through a Facebook Live event on March 3, will receive school supplies for the new year. Also a health brigade will be held at the same school to evaluate by hearing test to all the first-graders.
