How do you reduce the burden of hearing loss across a population? This was a key question at the second Public Health Planning for Hearing Impairment (PHPHI) workshop in Africa. Between 16 and 20 October, 37 healthcare professionals from across eastern Africa gathered at the University of Nairobi in Kenya.
