Welcome to Tusaajuit

Hearing care, for Nunavik’s communities

ᐃᓄᒃᑎᑐᑦ— Inuktitut text to come

Inuit communities have some of the highest rates of hearing loss in Canada and throughout the world, particularly among Inuit children. That’s why we created Tusaajuit.

About Us

Our Mission & Vision

Tunu Napartuk
Tunu NapartukChair of Tusaajuit Nunavik

Tusaajuit bridges the gap between educational and health care services by giving community members access to educational resources about hearing loss and facilitating access to hearing care.

Tusaajuit will address the root causes of hearing loss by focusing on prevention. It aims to reduce the long-term impacts of hearing loss and improve the well-being and social integration of hard-of-hearing individuals.

Our Causes

What We Do

Tusaajuit takes on a community wide approach in its mission to prevent hearing loss. We are also present to support the hard of hearing and their family members in their journey towards better hearing care. We act as a year long support cast for hearing care for Nunavik & its communities.
