A training resource aimed at managing ear diseases and reducing hearing problems in developing countries
Four training manuals (basic level, intermediate level trainer’s manual, intermediate level student’s workbook, advanced level) equip primary level health workers and communities in developing countries with simple, effective methods to reduce the burden of ear and hearing disorders.
Interactive training provides understanding of ear disease, and basic measures to prevent and manage common conditions and help people use hearing aids effectively.
Clear information, diagrams and drawings enable village health workers, teachers and parents help their community prevent and recognize common ear diseases and hearing impairment.
Provides tools needed for interactive training of primary level health workers in prevention, diagnosis and treatment of common ear diseases and hearing impairment.
The same framework as the trainer's manual enables each student understand and apply the knowledge and skills required for primary ear and hearing care.
Reinforces and extends previous learning so as to prevent, detect, diagnose, manage and rehabilitate ear and hearing disorders effectively at the primary level.
