Following the awareness talk, GHCC Melaka conducted complimentary hearing screenings for staff and selected residents.
The screening enabled participants to gain clarity on their hearing status and helped identify individuals who may require further comprehensive evaluation. The team also offered basic hearing health guidance, communication tips, and recommendations for those showing potential hearing concerns.
This programme served as a valuable knowledge‑sharing platform between hearing care professionals and nursing home caregivers, equipping staff with improved awareness and practical approaches to enhance communication and care for residents with hearing difficulties.
