The Portuguese Parliament Debates Hearing Disabilities

For the first time in the history of the Portuguese Parliament, issues concerning people with hearing disabilities – both users and candidates for electronic hearing rehabilitation devices (such as hearing aids and implants) – will be debated in a Plenary Session.

This represents an unprecedented milestone in Portugal, finally placing at the centre of political discussion the rights, needs, and solutions for thousands of citizens who depend on these devices to hear, communicate, and live fully.

OUVIR (Hear) – Portuguese Association of Hearing Aids and Implants Users will continue to closely follow the process and considers this moment a historic step towards inclusion and hearing health in Portugal.

This debate will be crucial to bring visibility to a reality too often forgotten and to build concrete measures of support for those who need it most.
