Why Hearing?

Hearing Impairment

Chart provided by World Wide Hearing

 

Communication Break-Down

Consequences:

If you can’t hear… you can’t learn to speak
If you can’t speak… you can’t COMMUNICATE in a hearing world
If you can’t communicate… you’re socially and economically deprived

Usually this leads to:

1) Low sense of self-worth, insecurity
2) Lack of education, timidity
3) Stigmatization in many societies
4) Social isolation, under employment
5) POVERTY

Providing Hearing Aids to Syrian Refugees

Refugees are in need of hearing aids. The number of hearing injuries caused by the Syrian War has only increased – and the issue has now reached our very doorstep here in Jordan.

We reviewed in detail the challenges of delivering hearing aids in the developing world.

We want to utilize the best practices that currently exist, while leveraging new technologies to increase accessibility to underserved communities.

3DP4ME, in collaboration with our partners, has created a new innovative service delivery model.
