Mobile hearing clinic, India

Hearing loss is the most common sensory deficit in humans today and according to a WHO estimate, 360 million people in the world are affected by hearing loss.

It is estimated that six out of one thousand children born in India’s Telangana State are born deaf which is three times higher than the national average and six times the global average.

The aim of this project is to provide comprehensive ear and hearing care to children aged 0-14 through a mobile hearing clinic. This will enable the initiation of appropriate interventions for children identified with a disability.
