Moreover, the event commemorating World Hearing Day was aimed at raising awareness about hearing loss in general and its possible treatment methods in particular. The presence of Dr. Simone Knapp, the Austrian Ambassador in Ethiopia, at the World Hearing Day event emphasized its high level and significance.
Within this awareness campaign cochlear implants were presented as efficient hearing solutions, and their life-changing effect was emphasised. The participating families gave very positive comments on the efficiency and informativity of the workshop. They got knowledge that would support their children during their hearing rehabilitation journey and were reminded of the great importance of parental involvement in the process.
