# Tygerberg Hospital is marking Deaf Awareness Month by leading efforts to support deaf and hard-of-hearing communities across the Western Cape. The hospital helps children with hearing loss through early detection and treatment, improving speech, learning, and social skills. The hospital’s Jenny Birkenstock says their cochlear implant programme, the largest in South Africa, has helped over one-thousand patients, from babies to seniors, gaining access to life-changing hearing care:
