Initiative to help deaf children in developing world

The safety company, Arco, is
donating 1% of the sales of
its E-gard range to the Sound
Seekers charity to help raise
funds to conduct work
overseas. The campaign is the
first of Arco’s 125 good deeds
to celebrate its 125th
anniversary.

Seven out of ten deaf
children live in the
developing world with no
access to basic hearing
assessment, treatment and
medicines. Sound Seekers
works to improve the lives of
deaf children and children
living with ear disease in the
developing countries of the
Commonwealth of Nations.

The E-Gard range, available
in Arco’s Big Book catalogue,
on its website and through its
branch network, is said to
guarantee the wearer a high
performing, comfortable
hearing protector at an
affordable price. The range
provides hearing solutions for
all safety requirements and
includes disposable ear plugs,
reusable corded ear plugs,
banded ear plugs and
detectable ear plugs.
