"We are LOVING hearScreen!"

- Dr Cara Hollander

Prime Hearing

"With hearScreen® we were able to screen the hearing of over 15 000 children and adults in the greater Tshwane area. Our hearing screening project extended hearing healthcare services to ECD centres, schools, home visits, clinics and hospitals. Five underserved communities were empowered with this tool that allowed integration into existing health programs, contributing to increased impact and awareness about hearing loss within the communities."

- Tirelo Bosha

Community projects leader

"hearScreen® technology has been used to screen the hearing of over 6 600 children in the lower-income community of Tembisa. This tool allowed us to conduct community-based hearing and vision screening at local ECD centres and primary schools. We are happy to share that because of hearScreen® we were able to identify and help a 13 year old girl with moderate-severe hearing loss with a pair of hearing aids, advocating for successful development going forward."

- Tembisa

Community projects leader

"Our screening program in Philippi was able to screen over 1000 kids in five days in five different schools. With hearX’s technology we would be able to screen 45 000 children in a school year. Our screening identified 72 children who needed urgent follow-ups, and it worked so well that several groups have contacted me to replicate our project. We owe you and your team a great deal of thanks."

Why better hearing can improve one’s wellbeing
As a result, we often watch our loved one become isolated, which may eventually lead to depression and cognitive decline. In order to prevent these negative effects, it is important to identify hearing loss as early as possible.
Portable Audiometric Screening Platforms Used in Low-Resource Settings: A Review
It is estimated that hearing loss affects one in five people in the world. One of the realities of people struggling with hearing loss is that those living in low and middle income countries don’t have access to hearing healthcare.
UNESCO-Pearson selects hearScreen® as a case study
hearScreen® has been selected as a UNESCO-Pearson case study to promote innovative digital solutions serving low-skilled or low-literate youth and adults to help them participate more effectively in a digital economy and knowledge society.
