Recognition for audiology and hearing healthcare

The award recognises Kweitsu’s professional work in audiology and his efforts to expand awareness and access to hearing healthcare.

Kweitsu’s professional profile identifies him as the CEO of KRISPAT Hearing Centre Ghana Ltd and says he has more than 23 years of experience in hearing healthcare. His professional activities have included hearing assessment, hearing-aid services, industrial audiometry and hearing-conservation programmes.

KRISPAT’s listed services include hearing tests, digital hearing aids, hearing protection, industrial hearing-conservation programmes and general ear and hearing care. A business profile for the centre identifies Kweitsu as its manager.

The recognition places particular attention on a branch of healthcare that remains relatively specialised in Ghana, where hearing loss can affect communication, education, employment and social participation.

From clinical practice to public education

Kweitsu’s work has extended beyond clinical services into public education about hearing loss and hearing aids.

In 2025, he published Amplifying Life: A Comprehensive Guide to Hearing Aids – Understanding, Choosing and Caring. His professional profile describes the book as a practical resource dealing with hearing loss, hearing-aid technology, selecting appropriate devices and caring for hearing aids, while also addressing the social and emotional experiences associated with hearing impairment.

The publication has also been presented as part of efforts to promote early detection and reduce stigma surrounding hearing impairment in Ghana.

Academic background

Kweitsu’s involvement in audiology also includes academic research.

A University of Ghana repository record shows that he completed a research dissertation titled Attitudes Towards the Use of Hearing Aids Among Hearing Impaired Population in Accra, Ghana, submitted in 2020 as part of the requirements for an MSc in Audiology.

The research focused on attitudes toward hearing-aid use among people with hearing impairment in Accra, adding an academic dimension to his work in hearing healthcare.

Hearing-health outreach

His professional activities have also included community outreach.

According to a March 2026 professional post, KRISPAT Hearing Centre conducted a hearing-health screening programme at Regworld Training Center in Apowa–Kejabril in Ghana’s Western Region. The programme included clinical ear examinations and education on hearing conservation and preventive ear care.

Such programmes form part of a broader emphasis on identifying hearing problems early and improving public understanding of hearing health.

A Ghanaian professional recognised on an African platform

The award in Kigali follows an earlier announcement that Kweitsu had been selected for recognition at the 2026 African awards event. Contemporary reports identified him as one of the Ghanaian professionals being recognised and described the event as a platform bringing together African leaders, business personalities and changemakers.

There is a discrepancy in publicly available descriptions of the event’s edition number: some earlier announcements referred to it as the 2nd Edition, while the updated account supplied for this report refers to the 3rd Edition. The date and venue—September 25, 2026, at M Hotel, Kigali—are independently corroborated.

A recognition of hearing-health advocacy

For Kweitsu, the Kigali presentation represents international recognition of a career centred on audiology, hearing-aid services, hearing conservation, research and public education.

His work combines clinical practice with efforts to increase awareness of hearing loss and encourage people to seek professional assessment and appropriate support.

The Excellence in Audiology Practice recognition therefore places Ghanaian hearing healthcare on an international African platform while highlighting the importance of specialised professionals working to improve hearing-health awareness and services.
