During the International Week of the Deaf (week of September 19), the First Paraguayan School for the Deaf received a new audiometer. This device is used to measure hearing loss and stimulate the hearing of someone who has experienced hearing loss. Through funds received through Global Ministries, the school was able to acquire this device, which is an important tool for the work of the school.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","region":[20015,20080],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nFirst Paraguayan School for the Deaf - Global Ministries<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.globalministries.org\/project\/paraguayan-school-for-the-deaf\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"First Paraguayan School for the Deaf - Global Ministries\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The First Paraguayan School for the Deaf is based in Asuncion, Paraguay.
