May is Better Hearing and Speech Month, a reminder to prioritize your family’s ability to hear, speak, and communicate. In Uganda, hearing loss and speech delays are often diagnosed late due to stigma or lack of awareness. Early detection improves outcomes, especially for children.
- If your child has delayed speech, struggles to follow instructions, or has unclear speech, they may need a hearing or speech evaluation.
- Adults: Frequently asking people to repeat themselves, increasing TV volume, or struggling to hear in noisy places could indicate hearing loss.
Speech and hearing challenges in Uganda often stem from preventable causes like, ear infections, genetics, birth complications, or trauma. Early intervention prevents lifelong challenges.
At Case Hospital, you can access ENT specialists, speech therapists, and audiology services under your plan benefits.
