Thursday, February 24, 2022; Bangalore; India: Signia, a leader in the hearing aid industry, today announced the launch of ‘Brilliant Sound Galaxy (BSG)’, the first store of its kind in Bangalore, where consumers can self-discover aspects of hearing, self-screen their hearing, experience hearing live with hearing aids and take an informed decision to enhance their hearing journey. As per WHO estimates in India, there are approximately 63 million people, who are suffering from Significant Auditory Impairment; this places the estimated prevalence at 6.3% in the Indian population.
The store was inaugurated by Iconic Bollywood Singer and Signia Cause Ambassador Mr. Sudesh Bhosle and Syed Kirmani Indian cricketer along with Mr. Avinash Pawar, CEO & Managing Director, Sivantos India Pvt. Ltd. The Brilliant Sound Galaxy is an interpretation of modern-day hearing care that provides complete quality hearing care solutions for hearing-impairment. BSG is a completely new interactive concept with hearing experiences, iconic innovations, products and services and expert audiological advice under one roof.
“Hearing loss is the most common sensory deficit in humans today. There is a stigma associated with hearing loss that is well known. Many factors contribute to the stigma, but perhaps the biggest one is that we don’t talk about it enough. Untreated hearing loss has social, physical and psychological consequences. With the launch of BSG, we aim to provide a youthful and inclusive experience that reframes assumptions about hearing aids and empowers consumers to take their own decision. Here, clinical services transform into an active journey that takes hearing aids beyond devices, celebrating great design.” said Mr. Pawar.
Bangalore’s first Brilliant Sound Galaxy will be operated by Aanvii Hearing Solutions Pvt. Ltd, a professionally run hearing care company established in 2014 by Mr. Vishal B. Shah.

Inaugurating the BSG center is a step forward to deliver innovative hearing solutions and our commitment towards serving the hearing-impaired population. This step will help to create awareness and reduce the stigma associated with hearing aids. Aanvii Group is also planning to expand the operations and penetrate Tier-II & III market and work towards increasing the awareness about hearing loss. At our BSG, qualified & experienced audiologists will help in investigating the problem and provide specific solutions to improve the quality of life of the consumer,” said Mr. Vishal Shah, CEO – Aanvii Hearing Solutions Pvt Ltd .

Nanjangud MLA B Harshavardhan has requested the government to provide a budgetary allocation of Rs 30 crore for the  proposed lift  irrigation project near Yediyala in Nanjangud taluk.

Bengaluru/Nanjangud : A request to this effect has been submitted to Water Resources Minister Govind Karjol by Harshavardhan. The minister has assured to look into the appeal.

The lift irrigation project would help in filling 12 dried-up tanks in the taluk. This would cater to the requirements of 20 villages. The groundwater level has depleted significantly in these villages. Hence, refilling the tanks by lifting water from the Nugu river basin would help in recharging groundwater. The plan was conceived way back in 2016-17 when V Srinivas Prasad was the minister. However, the project has not taken off due to lack of funds, he added. The work can be completed in about nine months if the required funds are available, he added.

The MLA has also said that funds are required to build a barrier wall for the Sri Sadhguru Mahadeva Thatayya’s Gadduge near Sangama in his constituency. The MLA, while seeking the funds for this, has explained to the minister that due to the heavy rains in the last three years, some of the bridges on the river Nugu have become weak. Besides, some of the bridges have to be upgraded. The Gadduge of Thatayya is located at the confluence of river Kabini and Nugu.

The Sangama has been a witness to heavy floods in the last three years, he pointed out and explained the reasons for constructing a barrier wall near the Gadduge.
