Chonnam National University Hospital announced on the 17th that it had conducted the "KT Sound Recovery" project for "national heroes" who have dedicated themselves to the country, in collaboration with KT and the Ministry of Patriots and Veterans Affairs.

The "KT Sound Recovery" project, held on the 13th, brought together KT, Chonnam National University Hospital, and the Ministry of Patriots and Veterans Affairs. On this day, Professor Cho Hyungho of the Department of Otorhinolaryngology gave up his day off to provide dedicated medical care exclusively for senior national merit recipients.

Going beyond simply providing hearing aids, the project offered the highest level of medical service by delivering precise diagnosis and specialized hearing consultations at a university hospital, and custom-making the most suitable hearing aids for each individual senior.

This initiative will not only provide dedicated care and hearing aid production for national merit recipients, but will also cover the cost of cochlear implant surgery for those who require it.

Yang Seunghwan, a family member of a Korean War veteran, said, "My father, who was a war veteran, passed away a few years ago, and I brought my mother, who has hearing difficulties, for treatment. Thanks to this excellent program, I believe my mother will be able to listen more closely to the sounds of the world. I am grateful to the professor and KT for opening the door to communication."

Chung Shin, President of Chonnam National University Hospital, stated, "It is an honor to be able to present the gift of sound as a token of gratitude for the dedication of national merit recipients who have given everything for the country. Chonnam National University Hospital will continue to fulfill its core mission of safeguarding the health of the local community while also realizing the value of sharing and sincerely caring for those in need in our society."
