CBC to Supports Persons Suffering From Hearing Loss


By Timfuchi Aaron
The Cameroon Baptist Convention Health Services, CBCH has revealed that it will soon be providing quality healthcare and assistive listening devices to persons suffering from hearing loss in the North West Region of Cameroon.


The project comes on the heels of recent reports from health officials indicating a of rise in the number of persons suffering from hearing loss.

Reports say the rising figures are mostly caused by “constant gunshots and loud noise from explosives.”

Bamenda had been an epicenter of violence since the Anglophone Crisis started in 2016.


The coordinator for the ear and hearing project at the Cameroon Baptist Convention Health Services, Godwill Achatase explained that the institution is empowering its personnel with skills to handle the hearing loss.


He indicated that they have provided training to 45 clinicians and have also trained about 8 community health workers in the North West.

“The project will see hearing aid provided for 50.000frs instead of a million francs,” Achatase announced.


Dr. Neville Ndonko, an ENT surgeon described the ears as sensitive to external objects which can provoke hearing impairments.


“The ear has a natural mechanism to clean itself. When you put something in your ears, you are destroying the mechanism”, he said.


The director of the CBCHS, Professor Tih Puis Muffih, warned that figures linked to hearing impairments in the region could rise further if insecurity persists.
