Speech & Hearing Week
Age related hearing loss is the third most common non-communicable disease. It is caused by damage of inner ear/ hair cells. In fact, today almost 60% elderly population suffer from age related hearing loss, and it can be said that almost 1 in every 3 persons is facing the issue. Unfortunately, this can cause dementia at least 3.2 years years earlier than individuals with normal hearing. Therefore, it is important to treat the hearing loss with an early intervention of doctors/audiologists and using hearing aid.
Every year in the month of December, Department of Speech and Hearing celebrates Speech and Hearing week by conducting a series of events including webinars, telephonic consultation, Facebook live talks and radio talks to develop awareness regarding various communication disorders.
