Our Work
Where We Work
What We Do
AEC provides specialist ear and hearing health services centered on primary ear care, audiology, rehabilitation, and public education.
Clinical Services:
Primary Ear Health Care: Doctors and clinicians manage common outer and middle ear diseases, particularly infections in children. Clinicians undergo two years of intensive training adapted from WHO models to the Cambodian context.
Audiology: All clinics offer adult and paediatric audiology with comprehensive diagnostic testing, sound-treated rooms, hearing aid provision, earmould laboratories, tinnitus management, auditory verbal therapy, vestibular rehabilitation, and counselling.
Early identification and intervention for children is a major focus.
AEC runs school- and community-based programmes promoting ear health, safe listening, and early recognition of disease.
Public education shows are held in schools, villages, and partner organisations.
AEC also trains community health workers and district nurses.
An in-house school of audiology and an ongoing CPD programme address the shortage of trained specialists.
Educational Services:
AEC maintains a renewable three-year MOU with the Ministry of Health.
We support the health system at community, primary, secondary, and tertiary levels - from training district nurses to building hospital capacity and reporting outcomes to authorities.
Future plans include scaling audiology services, expanding newborn hearing screening, and contributing to a national hearing care strategy.
Government Cooperation:
Who We Help

Our work focuses on the most vulnerable, including low-income families, children living with HIV, former street children, survivors of trafficking and domestic violence, people with disabilities, older adults, internally displaced communities, and survivors of leprosy and land mines.
