#HearMexico: Today we went to the rural area Tlalixtac de Cabrera in the state of Oaxaca, about one hour outside of the City of Oaxaca, to perform hearing screenings at Benjamin Gurrola pre-school. Parents were happy to have a team travel to them and provide this type of audiological services, as these services are not accessible to low-income families in this area.
The goal we had was to screen 20-30 children this week and today we already surpassed that goal by screening 63 children, of which 7 children have been identified with hearing loss and have been referred to an audiologist.
What a great collaboration between the Centro Oaxaqueño de Rehabilitacion de Audicion y Lenguaje (CORAL) and the Sonova volunteers – thank you so much for your support!
