  • Since

    1978

Bangalore Speech and Hearing Trust is a public trust formed as a not for profit organization. It was established in 1978, as a registered body (Reg no Read more.101/78-79). It is started with the initiative of Dr. S.R.Chandrasekhar (FRCS), an eminent ENT surgeon of the time. Later a trust was formed with honorary members in it and Dr. S.R. Chandrasekhar as its Chairman and Director. Currently the trust includes prominent members of society taking up honorary membership to the trust. The trust supervises all the activities of the constituent units. Trust meets regularly, every 2months, and audits the work done as well plans out new initiatives.


Issue

Hearing loss is the most common sensory deficit in humans today. As per WHO estimates in India, there are approximately 63 million people, who are suffering from Significant Auditory Impairment; this places the estimated prevalence at 6.3% in Indian population. As per NSSO survey, currently there are 291 persons per one lakh population who are suffering from severe to profound hearing loss (NSSO, 2001). Of these, a large percentage is children between the ages of 0 to 14 years.


Action

Recognizing this pressing need, we aim to conduct a series of Hearing Screening Camps across rural communities in Karnataka. These camps will serve as crucial initiatives to identify and address hearing impairments at an early stage, facilitating timely interventions and access to appropriate resources. Our overarching goal is not only to detect hearing issues but also to provide feasible solutions.

Impact

• Functional impact: One of the main impacts of hearing loss is on the individual’s ability to communicate with others. Spoken language development is often delayed in children with unaddressed hearing loss. Unaddressed hearing loss and ear diseases such as otitis media can have a significantly adverse effect on the academic performance of children. They often have increased rates of grade failure and greater need for education assistance. Access to suitable accommodations is important for optimal learning experiences but is not always available. • Social and emotional impact: Exclusion from communication can have a significant impact on everyday life, causing feelings of loneliness, isolation, and frustration, particularly among older people with hearing loss. • Economic impact: WHO estimates that unaddressed hearing loss poses an annual global cost of US$ 750 billion. This includes health sector costs (excluding the cost of hearing devices), costs of educational support, loss of productivity, and societal costs.
