Of the hearing tours developed last year with the support of volunteers, audiologists and ear doctors, a total of 330 children were attended; of which 35 children failed to pass the tests.
This year we had our first hearing health tour on April 20, where we attended 140 children, and where 27 failed to pass the tests, a large number compared to the total results of last year. On the 27th of May, these children will come to the foundation for the second phase of review and finish ruling out whether they are indeed children with hearing loss or not. The intention of the second phase is to validate their hearing condition in a more controlled environment within the clinic and to be able to give them an adequate follow-up, if the new diagnosis points to problems.
With the sum of these experiences, we realize the urgent need that these communities have in terms of prevention to health, and for that we thank the support that you have given us.
Because your contributions make these projects possible and because in your company, we would love to be able to reach more remote places within the country to bring hearing health to those who need it most or to those who perhaps have never had the opportunity to realize a hearing test.
