Our Mission
Hearing Loss in Palestine
It is estimated that 250-350 children are born with hearing loss every year in Palestine. Most of those children need cochlear implants and extensive hearing rehabilitation early in life (ideally younger than 3 years of age) to have the best chance to improve.
Why are we needed?
Children with hearing loss in most developing countries, including Palestine, has limited access to cochlear implants, hearing aids, and proper rehabilitation. This carries a major longterm effect with disability on those children.
Our Services
