A walkathon held to mark World Hearing Day here on Sunday drew more than 300 participants in an initiative meant to serve as a reminder of hearing health and hearing-related issues to the public.
It was organised by the All India Institute of Speech and Hearing (AIISH) in association with JSS Institute of Speech and Hearing (JSSISH) and the Mysuru chapter of Indian Speech and Hearing Association (ISHA).
The event was flagged off by AIISH director M. Pushpavathi and the issues that were brought into focus included hearing loss and the adverse effects of noise pollution.
