The National Council for the Deaf is a non-Governmental, non denominational , non political voluntary social service Organization.
NCD history goes as far back as 1954 when the National Council for the Deaf and Blind was inaugurated. The basic aim of the Council is the social rehabilitation of the Deaf and the Fight against Deafness. In order to fulfill these objectives awareness, and identifying the Hearing Impaired (Deaf) , early diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation is most important.
In order to fulfill our objectives the National Council for the Deaf runs the following projects.

Recommendation and fitting of hearing aids.
Repair and maintenance of hearing aids.
Ear mould laboratory for manufacturing of individual custom made ear moulds.

Interesting to see how many children are wearing body-worn hearing aids. Are they common among adults as well. In addition, I was interested to see a fan in the room. Somebody I know who is actually studying to be an audiologist and who wears hearing aids who was born in pakistan but moved to the US quite young went back to Pakistan on holiday, and she says that she hardly wore her hearing aids because of the noise of the fans everywhere.
