As we step into 2024, a new year unfolds, bringing with it the promise of fresh beginnings and renewed hope. Here at the hearX Foundation, these moments are not just a change in the calendar; they signify a steadfast commitment to our core values – People First, Trust and Innovation for Change – woven into the fabric of our mission.
Our journey is guided by a vision, one where the use of innovative technology paves the way for healthy hearing for everyone, everywhere. In the spirit of this vision, we embark on ambitious goals for the year ahead, expanding our footprint and engaging in collaborative projects and research with various international institutions.
Comprehensive Hearing and Vision Screening: Empowering Children for Academic Success and Beyond
We aim not only to identify hearing issues through the screening process but also to faithfully guide individuals through a supportive care pathway. In addition, raising awareness about hearing health and providing training around various ear and hearing related matters form part of all we do. Information sharing is a powerful tool we use to address stigma and to change mindsets.
Our commitment extends to the youngest members of our communities, screening children at Early Childhood Development (ECD) Centres to identify potential hearing or vision challenges before they embark on their educational journey.
In schools, we stand tall against the prospect of hearing or vision problems becoming hurdles to academic success.We believe in the power of preventive screening, ensuring that every child can thrive without the limitations imposed by undetected issues.
Empowering Older Adults with Digital Technology: Bridging the Gap for Community Support
Our focus remains unwavering on older adults in our communities, offering support to those who may not qualify for public health assistance or are unable to access care.
Central to our approach is the integration of digital technology into our services. By taking these services directly to the heart of communities, and employing individuals who understand the local context best, we bridge the gap between technology and human connection.
Our 2024 Vision: Making Healthy Hearing a Reality for All
In 2024, our mission is clear – to shed light on hearing health and ensure that every individual, regardless of age or background, has the opportunity to experience the world with clarity and joy.
Together, let’s make healthy hearing a reality for all!
