In this episode, we discuss:

2. The importance of getting your hearing checked.
3. The comorbidities linked to untreated hearing loss.
4. What companies and providers are doing to create greater access and affordability to hearing healthcare.
With this theme, the communication objectives were to:
- Draw attention of decision makers in governments and civil society groups towards the WHO’s recommendations regarding integration of ear and hearing care into PHC.
- Encourage governments to integrate primary ear and hearing care into training programmes for health care providers at primary level.
- Call attention of primary level health care providers (health workers and physicians) towards the needs of people with hearing loss and ear disease.
- Inform people about the importance of ear and hearing care and encourage them to seek services.
