One of the main focuses of this year’s event is the inclusion of children with hearing impairment through the use of amplification devices like Cochlear Implants. These devices play a pivotal role in enabling these children to receive mainstream education and seamlessly integrate into society. To support this cause, Round Table 83 (Nagpur) provided relevant accessories used by users of Cochlear Implants. The objective is to make these vital devices accessible and affordable, ensuring that every person who requires them can lead a fulfilling life without any hindrance.
The event had inspiring performances by children with hearing impairment, showcasing their remarkable talents and proving that they are no less capable than their normal hearing peers. Additionally, a panel discussion led by experts in the field was held, addressing pertinent topics related to hearing impairment and its societal integration.
