Healthy Hearing for Everyone Everywhere
About Us
hearX Foundation works to create access to hearing care services in underserved communities.
With 466 million people around the world affected by disabling hearing loss (WHO, 2022) our core focus is to create access to ear and hearing health at grassroots level. 80% of these people live in lower and middle income countries where access to hearing care is often severely limited.
Programmes
We partner with local organisations to implement decentralised, mHealth supported programmes, to mitigate hearing difficulties in all groups. Our goal is to create impact on an individual, community and global level through sustainable, smart solutions. All our programmes are evidence-based, adapted to be contextually relevant and responsive to the community’s needs.
AWARENESS AND PREVENTION
Knowledge is the first step towards change. We equip teachers, caregivers, and community members with the skills to identify hearing-related challenges early and take proactive action.
EARLY DETECTION & INTERVENTION FOR CHILDREN
Early detection can change a
child’s future. Our screening programmes remove barriers to education by ensuring children aged four and older receive timely hearing and vision assessments.
COMMUNITY HEARING CARE FOR ADULTS
Hearing loss in adulthood can lead to isolation, reduced independence, and diminished quality of life. Our community-based hearing care ensures older adults remain connected to their loved ones and the world around them.
