Project title: WHD 2025 Screening Events

Primary region: AFR

Country: South Africa

Event Description:

We will be conducting 5 screening events to celebrate World Hearing Day 2025. Two events will be held at local libraries where adults over the age of 50 can have their hearing screened free of charge. The third event will be screening the hearing of approximately 60 Grade R children at a local school free of charge. For the fourth and fifth events we will be gifting a free hearing test to approximately 140 teenagers who are in their final year of school and speaking to them about the dangers of noise-induced hearing loss.
