Audiology Equipment

$12,790

The Thousand Smiles Foundation treats children with maxillo-facial deformities whos parents cannot afford to pay and/or do not have insurance. These patients usually have related hearing problems, so they all receive treatment and counseling from audiologists who are part of the team. For years the Audiology Team has been working in a substandard room with marginal equipment. The items in this grant will bring them up to date and permit them to treat the patients with a quality of care similar to that given in the United States
