Following the change to the charity’s objects and the broadening of its geographical scope, we are pleased to be funding a team from Brighton and Sussex Medical School, working in partnership with Refugee Crisis Foundation as they work with Rohingya refugees who have escaped Myanmar and are now living in the Kutupalong Camp in Bangladesh.
This project will identify children who could benefit from low-cost bone conduction headsets for hearing loss due to tympanic perforation. Conventional air conduction hearing aids are unsuitable for those with discharging ears and the team will be using new technology to potentially change the lives of children who are some of the most marginalised in society.

It is hoped that this intervention will enable children who previously had difficulty accessing educational opportunities to benefit from easier communication with their teachers and friends.
