"Giving new life by Hearing aids & Equipments"

CONVINCING PROPOSAL PRESENTATIONS

Elements of the grant -

01. Digital Hearing Aids,

02. Otoacoustic emissions (OAEs) (Screening Device)

03. Brain Evoked Response Audiometry (Diagnostic Device)

Sufficient detail that the Project is doable-

Deaf & Dumb School ('Muk BadhirVidyalaya' in Hindi) is promoted by Shirram Education Society and is one of the oldest and only residential school in nearby four districts offering education from Preschool to Class X. The school is promoted by a group of professionals and qualified, devoted members from community. During its inception in year 1985, there were only two students but dedicated management has grown the school to one of the premium institutes catering the need of around 150 students, most of them are from the weakest section of society.

The school has well qualified and trained staff who can handle modern equipments. Also, the school has all basic infrastructure like class room, acoustic room, hostel etc.

Hence, looking at the overall scenario as well as the requirement of the devices, we feel that the project is doable.

FOCUS

Focus on a single need or purpose. -

1. Many children have hearing problem by birth. Art of speech is mainly dependent upon hearing skill. If the child is deaf, it is unlikely that it would be able to speak either.

2. Providing the equipment like Acoustic emission test machine and Brain evoc response audiometry machine can provide the early detection of hearing problem, if any and intervention are crucial to minimize the impact of hearing loss on child development and educational achievements.

3. By providing the hearing aids, the children who are deaf by birth would be able to hear and understand and develop their speech also by which they will be able to gain their learning qualities.

Benefits the project

1. This will definitely improve their lifestyle and will be able to get a job to earn their livelihood. Thus they will be able to paddle their own canoe.

2. These equipments provide screening as well as diagnostic test at very early stage, which is an effective tool for early identification and management of hearing loss. People with hearing loss can benefit from the use of hearing devices such as hearing aids, cochlear implants and other assistive devices which in turn is helpful right from their childhood age.

Who will benefit?

Hearing impaired children and students from the weaker section of community

How many will benefit?

Through Hearing Aids, every year 100 students will be benefited for at least for 7 years which is ideal life of device.

The screening and diagnostic equipment can serve the need of all the new born babies in the local area. The test will help to diagnose the percentage of hearing loss.

What conditions to be addressed?

Student from the financially weaker section cannot afford digital hearing aid due to higher cost hence unable to reach their optimum potential.

Note: as of July 1, 2015 there is a 5% additional support fee for cash contributions. This fee does not appear in the financials above because it does not apply if the funds are sent directly to the project account (without going through TRF, and therefore without Paul Harris credit). Clubs sending their cash contribution to TRF must be aware they will have to send an additional 5%.
