The audiometric assessment phase for the Hearing Aid Support Project of
the MTN Foundation continued last week in three other states namely
Anambra, Lagos and Bauchi after it had been flagged off last week in
Benue, Akwa Ibom and Katsina.
The second phase of the exercise enjoyed massive participation amongst
people of the 3 states and over 2,000 beneficiaries turned out at the
various locations to undergo audiometric assessments which were carried
out by certified audiologists, ENT nurses and ENT Doctors to determine
final successful beneficiaries.
On completion of the assessment, the programming of hearing aids devices
in line with various test results will begin in earnest with the actual
distribution of hearing aids to successful beneficiaries sometime in
May, 2016.
Below are more pictures from the assessment exercise...
The Hearing Aid Support Project is one of the many MTNF programs that
provide appliances to disabled persons. Others are the MTNF Disability
Support Project which provides aids and appliances to persons with
disabilities across the country and the MTNF EyeRis projects which
restores sight to persons with sight defects.
