In the former, Phonak is sharing its experience in the development of integrated hearing centres in the country’s main towns and cities, and we report on how the use of implants has increased for all ages. Mexico is running a campaign to promote different government institutions, together with multinational firm Advanced Bionics, in fitting under-fives in remote areas.
