“I would like to thank Mr. Mansur Yavaş and his team for giving importance to this week. We both inform the public about hearing balance problems and conduct a hearing screening. Even a minor hearing loss can cause serious problems in the future. Let's especially support our elderly people in the use of hearing aids. Hearing loss is a problem that supports dementia and Alzheimer's disease. Hearing loss also interferes with social life.
