First Tour of Hearing and Dental Health 2016
In collaboration with the Kiwanis Club Las Perlas, more than 50 volunteers included otolaryngologists, speech pathologists, dentists and people of great heart, we could provide free hearing and dental exams to more than 100 children in the community of Nueva Arenosa in La Chorrera. Also we gave an educational talk about hearing health through the School for Parents. In this way we started the year bringing health to those in need. Thanks to all who came together to make this possible.

Cochlear Implant INTERNATIONAL DAY FEBRUARY 25
This day we honor Dr. Graeme Clark, creator of this wonderful invention that has already helped thousands of people. The cochlear implant is a device that transforms acoustic signals into electrical signals that stimulate the auditory nerve, allowing people to listen implanted. It has an internal component that is placed through surgery and an external component that is used in the head. It may be unilateral or bilateral and can be used by children and adults. After cochlear implant placement come a long period of oral rehabilitation to teach patients to talk. Not all deaf people are candidates for a cochlear implant, so will the doctors and specialists who define this. For more information: https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Implante_coclear
