A 12-hour course on hearing impairment will be delivered online via Zoom in April, organised by Malta University Consulting Ltd.
Hearing impairment occurs when a person loses part or all of the ability to hear. It can affect personal and work life due to impaired communication.
The course will enable participants to obtain detailed information on hearing loss, besides learning how to understand and interact with people with this condition. It is aimed at care workers, family members, educators and other professionals, and employers.
