CBM Tools to Support the Global Initiative for Hearing Health
The global scenario in ear and hearing care is going through a crucial stage of development and visibility. The development is greatly due to two circumstances: one is the appearance of accessible and affordable tools for screening and diagnosis of hearing loss, including those delivered through mobile telephones and other devices; the other is the high level technology and reliable quality of hearing devices, specifically of hearing aids and cochlear implants.
The visibility of the global scenario has occurred in a natural fashion, alongside the development aspect. With the immediate access to information provided by global communications and social media, the important contribution of the general population to increasing the visibility of all aspects related to ear and hearing care is not surprising.
However, in low-income and middle-income countries, this global scenario is not that realistic, accessible or affordable. And these countries are precisely where the needs are higher. Our presentation aims to share CBM knowledge and expertise in ear and hearing care with partners in the CGGH and to promote documentation of successful Comprehensive Programmes in hearing health, as recognised evidence to further build on work and initiatives in ear and hearing care.
- To share CBM’s knowledge and expertise in Ear and Hearing Care (EHC) with CGHH partners
- To promote the documentation of successful field programmes as recognised evidence to further build on EHC work and initiatives.
