hearing healthcare services such as

hearing screenings, hearing

evaluations, dispensing of hearing

aids, wax removal, middle ear

assessments and vestibular

assessments. The communities we

serve are in great need of healthcare,

with some families spending a

month’s salary to travel to their clinic

for treatment.
