Date: 16th October 2015
Time: 10.00 am – 4.00 pm
Participants: 11 pupils, 4 teachers
Participants: 4 Audiologists and 2 nurses from Eartistic, 2 guest Audiologists from the UK
This program is a result of collaboration between Eartistic Hearing & Balance Centre and Parents & Teachers Society of SK Bukit Rahman Putra (PIBG SKBRP). The goal of this program is to diagnose the current level of hearing among pupils with hearing problems in this school. 11 pupils came to the centre aged within 8 to 14 years old. Some of them are wearing hearing aids, some with cochlea implant and some of them are not wearing any devices. However, sign language is their main communication in school.
Every pupil gets 30 minutes of Pure Tone Audiometry (PTA) and while waiting for their turn, otoscopy and tympanometry were performed. History of pupils’ hearing at school, especially in their classroom, were provided by the teachers. The teachers were very helpful because they care about their pupils. They made the pupils very comfortable about communicating their hearing conditions to us.
We finished the hearing assessment at about 3.30 pm. Puan Hawati, who is the Guru Penolong Kanan Pendidikan Khas SKBRP, was informed about the follow up of the event. Eartistic’s team will go to SKBRP to send the full report of the diagnostic results. We are going to see the teachers and discuss about the next step to help the pupils.

Back To School Trip
On the 4th November 2015, we went to SK Bukit Rahman Putra to hand-in the diagnostic results. It was the activity week at the school. The children actually have their own stalls selling a variety of things that they made themselves. We were very impressed on the school’s initiative to introduce some entrepreneurial experience to the students.
Then, we were brought to the staffroom to meet other teachers. The session to explain and hand-in the results held in a casual setting. Results and recommendation for every pupil were explained and discussed with the teachers. In conclusion, we believe pupils and parents need motivation and awareness about the importance and benefits of hearing particularly hearing devices.
We had such great collaboration with SK Bukit Rahman Putra that we will have another program coming up for the children.
Stay tuned!
