This is an update on our campaign with the Safety Ambassadors of the Mallya Aditi International School who helped us raise funds for hearing impaired children.

We joined hands with Hearfon Systems Pvt Ltd and Sheila Kothavala Institute for the Deaf in Bangalore. Three children were chosen by the school : 2 of them are from grade IX and one form grade I. All of them have been fitted with hearing aids and provided with the kit and training to take care of the instruments. The Hearfon team will review the usage after 2 weeks and fine tune the hearing aids if required. They will also monitor the usage and instruments at regular intervals.

We are grateful to all who contributed to make this campaign a success.

As usual, we joined hands with Hearfon Systems Pvt Ltd to help children with hearing difficulties. Two 11 year old children – Anaz Zohra and Mohammed Ibrahim – had received sponsorship for the hearing aids, but they needed additional equipment to keep these aids operational and effective.

Hearfon systems put together a kit that comprises of
* Electric Dryer for the aid – since the aid gets wet due to sweat, etc
* Batteries – to sustain for a year
* Mould – this improves the efficiency and comfort
* A cleaning kit for the mould.

Hearfon Systems will have monthly follow ups for speech therapy, and in the process coach the children learn to use and care for the hearing aids properly.

On receiving the kits, the parents were overwhelmed with the support given to the children and called to thank us personally as this would go a long way in ensuring that they use the hearing aids and benefit from them.

May the children experience the joy of sound!

We want to extend our thanks to Jayanthi K – Speech and Hearing Specialist and cofounder of Hearfon Systems. She has been a great partner to help us ensure that the support reaches the children who really need it, and will benefit from it.

Our partner in Dhwani – Rajan Speech and Hearing Centre – is now  “Hearfon “.

This year, we took a different track.  Hearfon visited the Sheila Kothavala School for the hearing impaired to review the aids used by the students.  It was found that many children are not using hearing aids because of lack of batteries or the unit is not working for some reason, and the aid is just kept aside.

Therefore it was decided that we undertake the repair and servicing of the units.  As a part of the initial project 20 units were serviced, and handed back to the students.
