Today 3 March is World Hearing Day! This year, WHD highlights the theme “From communities to classrooms: hearing care for all children.”
The campaign focuses on two imperatives:
Preventing avoidable childhood hearing loss
Ensuring early identification of and care for children with ear or hearing problems
Schools and communities are natural entry points to reach children, parents, and teachers. By integrating hearing care into school health and child health programmes, we can help children hear, learn, and succeed. (Copy paste from WHO website)!
I would like to share the recent article on bilateral hearing loss child that received bilateral Cochlear Implant for hearing rehabilitation and this case also mark a new milestone for early activation (switch on ) within a week after surgery. I am happy with the wound at the end of surgery and during follow up, hence the switch on was post op day 5! Thank you to my rehab team for the support!
Wishing the child a smooth hearing journey !
