ONLINE HEARING SCREENING

With the rapid spread of the Internet in India with its multi-faceted utility facilities, AYJNIHH, of Mumbai, India in its Outreach & Extension Service Programme has developed an online hearing test to ascertain whether or not someone requires hearing aid. Four sets of questionnaire have been designed for four groups which are linked to the real online test. The hearing screening tests provide a quick and cost effective way to separate people into two groups, a pass group and a fail group. They also have come up with a device to aid some 3.1 million persons suffering from hearing impairment in the country alone. They have set up a special website www.checkhearing.nic.in towards this end.
