 LASODA, NIGERBELL CELEBRATE WORLD HEARING DAY 2026 WITH FREE HEARING TESTS FOR CHILDREN


 


The Lagos State Office for Disability Affairs (LASODA), in collaboration with Nigerbell Hearing Centres Ltd, marked the 2026 World Hearing Day with a free hearing screening exercise for selected school children with disabilities.


The event, held on March 3, 2026, at Nigerbell Hearing Centres in Ikeja, aligned with this year’s theme: “From Communities to Classrooms: Hearing Care for All Children.” The initiative underscored the importance of early detection and intervention in addressing hearing challenges among children.


Welcoming guests and participants, the Audiologist, Dr. Barnabas Bem Vangerwua, emphasised that hearing care for all children is critical, particularly from an early age. He noted that undetected hearing loss can significantly affect a child’s speech, learning ability, and overall development.


Dr. Vangerwua urged parents to ensure that newborn babies undergo hearing screening immediately after birth to determine their hearing status. According to him, early testing enables prompt intervention, which can greatly improve outcomes for children with hearing impairments.


He also called for the integration of routine hearing tests into primary healthcare services across Lagos State. “If hearing screening becomes a standard practice in our primary healthcare centres, parents will have easier access to early diagnosis and intervention,” he said.


Nigerbell, a leading hearing healthcare provider, specializes in the prevention, identification, assessment, treatment, and rehabilitation of hearing difficulties in both adults and children. The centre provides comprehensive hearing assessments as well as hearing aid prescriptions, fittings, and adjustments tailored to patients’ needs.


The General Manager of LASODA, Mrs. Adenike Oyetunde-Lawal, was present at the event and actively participated in the screening exercise by having her hearing tested. Her gesture reinforced the importance of regular hearing checks and demonstrated leadership by example.


The celebration not only raised awareness about hearing health but also reaffirmed the commitment of LASODA and Nigerbell to promoting inclusive healthcare services and ensuring that every child has the opportunity to thrive both in their communities and in the classroom.
