On the occasion of World Hearing Day, the Mysuru-based All India Institute of Speech and Hearing (AIISH) in association with Frauscher Sensor Technology India distributed 110 hearing aids to persons with hearing impairment, including a three-month-old baby, on its premises here on Thursday.
Speaking on the occasion, M. Pushpavathi, director, AIISH, said a few months ago, Bank of Baroda donated 50 hearing aids to needy children in 0-5 age group and now Frauscher Sensor Technology has come forward to donate 110 hearing aids. This time, we not only distributed it to children but also to senior citizens.
“By providing hearing aids, only 10% of work is done. On wearing the aids, they will hear and listen to various sounds. Our experts at the institute will work with them to help them understand, which will take about two to three years,” she said.
