Nepalese Ear Camps

 

Audiologists from Addenbrooke’s Audiology Department have now supported two Nepalese Ear Camps by providing both audiological testing and fitting hearing aids. The camps are run bi-annually by the Independent Nepalese Federation (INF) which is a voluntary, non-governmental organization working in Nepal. Their aim is to provide clinical care to Nepalese people who do not always have access to services like ear surgical specialists or audiology as provided by the NHS in the UK. The Ear Camps usually run in the March and November of each year and require two audiologists.

 

For more information read the Nepal Ear Camp (Word doc) article written for the BSA News (the professional magazine of the British Society of Audiology

 

The audiologists at Addenbrooke’s are committed to continuing their support to the Ear Camps, with plans to support the 33rd ear camp. Audiologists take annual leave to attend the camps.
