For Peter and Rebecca Bartlett, raising awareness is essential for identifying cases of hearing loss in Malawi.
“Many parents of children with hearing loss think that their children are not intelligent enough, mentally retarded or even cursed,” explains Rebecca Bartlett.
Even if the children can hear well, providing just a little medical information often helps ensure that the correct treatment is prescribed if they ever have an ear health issue, thus preventing hearing impairments.

„Viele Eltern von Kindern mit Hörverlust denken ihre Kinder seien nicht intelligent genug, geistig zurückgeblieben oder sogar verflucht“, erzählt Rebecca Bartlett.
Dabei hilft - bei an sich gut hörenden Kindern – oft schon ein wenig medizinische Aufklärung, um bei Infektionen die richtige Behandlung vorzusehen und so gesundheitliche Probleme zu vermeiden.
