In recognition of International Week of Deaf, we are excited to introduce the new Blog Section on our website. Through comprehensive research, we identified a significant gap in awareness around hearing health in India. To address this, we’ve launched an informative awareness campaign via Blogs and Instagram Reels, aimed at dispelling myths, providing accurate information, and emphasizing the importance of early intervention in hearing loss. According to the World Health Organization, over 63 million people in India are affected by hearing loss, yet less than 14% utilize any hearing solutions. This gap not only worsens the condition but also increases the risk of anxiety, depression, and cognitive health issues. Our blog section is a step towards bridging this gap, and we would appreciate your support in helping us reach the deprived masses through this initiative. Together, we can raise awareness and make a positive impact on millions of lives. 👉 Visit our blog section on our website and share this post to help spread the message. Let’s help someone hear better today.
