Vision Care Hearing Solutions donates 40 hearing aids to 22 children

Vision Care Hearing Solutions marked World Hearing Day with a donation of 40 hearing aids to 22 children, concluding its community outreach campaign under the theme “From Communities to Classrooms – Hearing Care for All Children.”

The award ceremony was held at the Lakshman Kadirgamar Institute with the participation of parents, children, media personnel and well-wishers.

The campaign, aligned with the global initiative of the World Health Organization, began months earlier through school screening programmes covering more than 15 schools. Over 1,500 children were screened to identify undiagnosed hearing difficulties.

Speaking at the event, representatives of Vision Care Hearing Solutions emphasised that the initiative was part of the company’s long-term corporate social responsibility commitment to ensure hearing care reaches classrooms and supports children from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

Medical experts highlighted the importance of early detection and proper pediatric hearing technology. The donated devices included advanced hearing aids featuring BrainHearing™ technology, designed to improve speech clarity, noise reduction and auditory development for children

Children with hearing loss in both ears received bilateral hearing aid fittings to support speech development and academic performance.

The highlight of the ceremony was an emotional address by one of the beneficiary students, who expressed gratitude on behalf of all recipients, reminding the audience that the donation represented not just devices but opportunities for education, confidence and future growth.
