Working adults exposed to industrial noise in Valenzuela City (the industrial factory capital of the Philippines) will receive a hearing conservation program that this project will complement, strengthen, and monitor. Daichi Metal Products Corporation served as the pilot factory or center as a celebration of World Hearing Day 2023. As our ultimate goal is to conduct a prevalence study of industrial noise-induced hearing loss in the Philippines, this is an excellent starter program. We provided education, free hearing screening, and training about the risks associated with industrial noise exposure. Affected workers were also provided hearing protection devices, such as earplugs and earmuffs. Lastly, the project will regularly monitor the working environment to ensure that the hearing conservation program is effective.

Focus of the program is to raise awareness about: The dangers of listening to music at loud levels, Profession of Audiology & Hearing ability self-evaluation and screening via hearWHO app

Format: Talk a local radio station which and streamed live on Facebook; Online presentation to learners and a face-to-face presentation to 167 learners at local high school. Learners were given an opportunity to evaluate their hearing via a hearing ability questionnaire. 77 were completed, 41 indicated hearing challenges, 16 were incomplete with signs of potential reading and writing and/or comprehension problems, some learners struggled writing their own personal particulars, and some were above age for the grade i.e., 18 in grade 8.

Audiology Team like previous years organized successful community awareness program on Ear and Hearing care with support from Chief Medical Officer’s office AHS-SEHA through social media posts as well as news paper focusing on Hearing care and Audiology. Patient awareness lectures and Annual World Hearing Day webinar were organized for all AHS staffs to improve awareness on Audiology services available as well as early identification/ management of Hearing loss.

Special focus was given on awareness of Hearing services in Primary care setting, preventable hearing loss as well as early treatment of Hearing loss for Dementia prevention.

Hearing Screenings are an important tool used to identify children with possible hearing loss who were not identified at birth or who developed hearing loss later in life.
So, in March 2021, we developed a community hearing screening for a total of 52 people.
This year, we returned to the same place to see how the people were and had a discussion on hearing and hearing aids.
In March 2023, 9 people from the 2021 hearing screening and 7 new people, received hearing care information.
We concluded that improving compliance with hearing care needs more investment and information through awareness campaigns with the Capverdean community.

The Hospital Universitário Dr. Agostinho Neto conducted pure tone and speech audiometry between 19th and 24 th February.
42 people with hearing loss were identified and 35 of them got free hearing aids (7 children and 28 adults).
During March, we followed up these people and they were generally managing well.
This project was done with the partnership of Fundacao Clarós (Spain) and Cavibel & Ceris (Equatorial Coca-cola Bottling Company Cabo Verde).

The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) estimates that approximately 126,000-500,000 children are born each year with hearing loss and about 90% of them live in developing countries. Children are the most affected compromising their neuropsychomotor development.
We also concluded that neonatal hearing screening in Cape Verde would help to achieve better education of parents and earlier intervention for infants.

Early detection of hearing loss in the elderly is very important and it is recommended to do it regularly. This is because the hearing loss in the elderly can affect their quality of life and limit social interaction. In addition, hearing loss can also trigger depression, loneliness, and even dementia. Through early detection, hearing loss can be identified and treated so that the effects can be minimized. Hearing loss can be treated by using hearing aids or through other medical measures. However, the longer hearing loss is left untreated, the greater the impact it may have on the quality of life of those who experience it. The Bogor City Regional Hospital held a talk show about the early detection of hearing loss in the elderly with an audience of patients and other viewers through face-to-face meetings, live shows, and YouTube channels
