Hearing impairment

Our aim is to help each deaf person to be as independent as possible and enable them to take an active part in their community. CBM gives support in a variety of ways: through surgery, medication, rehabilitation and education.

• There are 250 million people suffering from a hearing impairment, with two thirds living in the developing world. CBM currently supports 134 projects for the deaf, including 69 schools. We also help prevent hearing loss through primary ear and hearing care programmes and by providing effective hearing aids.
