The Department of Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery of Mariano Marcos Memorial Hospital and Medical Center started the celebration of World Hearing Day 2023 by posting an infographic in the municipal led wall of Batac, Ilocos Norte on March 3, 2023. We also posted our infographic and WHO educational/publicity materials in our social media page from March 3-10, 2023.

On March 5, 2023, Dr. Joy C. Alvarez, our department clinical audiologist, did a live radio guesting about ear and hearing care in our local radio station, Bombo Radyo Laoag.

On March 6, 2023, we conducted an ear care mission and layman lecture to 140 grade school students, along with their parents or guardians, in Doña Josefa Edralin Marcos Elementary School in Currimao, Ilocos Norte.
