Together with the necessary information, we carry out the hearing test in cooperation with Hacettepe University. As our President Mansur always stated, 'Every life is valuable in the Capital'."

We are doing this practice to remind everyone how important hearing is. We also provide information on this issue to those who have hearing test or balance problems and explain the solutions. I would like to thank Ankara Metropolitan Municipality for helping us share the free hearing test service with the public.''
