Ear Science Centre: Where Technology Meets Compassion in India's Hearing Revolution

I ndia’s speech and hearing care sector is transforming, driven by rising awareness and a pressing need for early interventions. With more than 63 million people suffering from severe hearing loss and one in every ten children having speech and communication problems, the need for specialized treatment has never been more acute. Even so, it is not widely available, particularly in Tier-II cities, because there just aren't enough trained practitioners. But a new breed of state-ofthe-art clinics is bridging that gap, providing top-class diagnostics, bespoke care, and rehabilitation. These centres are revolutionizing a previously neglected area of Indian healthcare quietly. One such trailblazer is the Ear Science Centre in Hubli, Karnataka.
