Sohum has made the hearing screening program & technology reach African countries. 90% of the babies born with hearing loss are in the developing world (~800,000 babies are born with hearing loss every year), and all these babies face irreversible speech loss due to a lack of an effective early screening program. Sohum technology which is indigenously developed in India with the support of the Department of Biotechnology can provide a comprehensive care model for the developing and underdeveloped countries and provide equitable health to many babies.

We appreciate the effort of all healthcare workers and clinicians who leave no stone unturned to screen babies for hearing loss in clinics, hospitals, and remote villages. 26 million (2.6 crores) babies are born every year in India, & they are born in institutions and at home. Sohum is enabling the Govt. programs like Rashtriya Bal Swastha Kalyan Karyakram (RBSK), National Program for Prevention and Control of Deafness (NPPCD) to provide hearing screening in the Govt. sector. Our technology is evaluated and used by the ICMR team in Orissa, and proven to be cost-effective, easy to use by healthcare workers, and accurate for use in resource-poor settings of India and other developing countries.
