*Devices Provided to Students of Government Deaf Residential School, Malakpet, Hyderabad at Samagra Shiksha office

Dr. Chandrasekhar, CEO of Jain Educational Institutions, emphasized that while equal opportunities for everyone in society are challenging to achieve, striving toward them and providing such opportunities is commendable. Under the auspices of We Hear Innovations Private Limited, advanced hearing devices were distributed free of charge to five children from the Government Deaf School in Malakpet. The distribution event took place at the SPD office located in the Central Secretariat on Secretariat Road on Thursday morning. Initially, all students from the Government Deaf Residential School in Malakpet were screened, and five students were identified and provided with Hear NU, a state-of-the-art hearing device. Unlike regular hearing aids that work through air conduction, these devices function through bone conduction. The device comprises two parts: a wristband with a microphone that picks up all kinds of sounds and transmits them via Bluetooth to the headband, which the users wear on their heads, near their ears. The sounds are then transmitted through bone conduction, allowing the deaf to hear.

Vijay Shah, Drector of WeHear Innovations Pvt Ltd Ahmedabad and Adesh Agarwal handed over these advanced devices to the children. They mentioned that in next month, they are going to conduct similar camps in various districts of Telangana, identify deaf children, raise funds, and provide these devices for free.

During the event, Dr. Chandrasekhar, CEO of Jain Educational Institutions, expressed his pride and said, “Today, I feel very proud. Not everyone in society is the same, but everyone should have equal opportunities. These children often do not receive the opportunities they deserve. I commend Vijay Shah and Adesh Agarwal. The donation they are making to these children will change their lives. Allready in India Gujarat, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Assam, accross world 2500+ kids got benefits of this technology.They will be able to hear, respond, and integrate into mainstream society. We all need to come together as a society. So far, 1,455 children have been tested in Hyderabad. To provide devices to all of them, we all need to contribute. They provided these devices to five children, and this is just the first step. Next, we need to provide speech therapy so that they can eventually speak fully.”

Nagalakshmi, the principal of the Government Deaf School in Malakpet, said, “We have 120 children in our school, and they have all been tested. During the test trials, five children were identified. Air conduction is not working well enough, and it only allows them to hear low-frequency sounds. The bone conduction device they provided is excellent. It works well for moderate to severe hearing impairments. They are even able to recognize sounds coming from behind. They can tell how many times the school bell rang even if it was rung from behind. We are trying to integrate these children with the general population. Along with providing hearing devices to all our students, we will also offer speech therapy. We are grateful for this opportunity.”
