March 3rd is World Hearing Day, an important date on the medical calendar.
Hearing is one of our senses that connects us with the world and it requires special attention and care. This year's theme from the World Health Organization is “Ear and hearing care for all”. Specialists are calling for special attention to hearing health, advising regular check-ups with primary care providers and taking immediate steps to prevent further hearing loss, if problems are detected.
“Arabkir” Medical Center is the largest center providing services to children with hearing impairments in Armenia. Here, follow-up care for over 1200 children is carried out. With the help of our audiology team, children even with severe hearing loss learn how to speak, integrate fully into society, including attending public schools.
