On May 19, Koscom announced that it had conducted a 'Cochlear Implant Headband Making Volunteer Activity.' This initiative is part of Koscom’s ‘Hope Dream’ program, and was carried out by donating funds to ‘Cochlea of Love,’ a specialized organization supporting people with hearing impairment, as well as through voluntary talent donations from employees.

In particular, the activity gained added significance by being linked with the company’s knitting club, ‘Komjirak Komjirak.’ Club members guided others on the production methods, and general employees also participated, demonstrating a virtuous cycle where in-house club activities contribute to the realization of social value.

A ‘cochlear implant’ is a device that helps people with hearing impairments hear sounds by implanting the device in the cochlea. However, since the external device can be easily shaken or fall off, a secure headband is essential for children who are physically active to keep it stable.

Koscom employees carefully made headbands in a variety of designs reflecting the children’s preferences. The completed headbands were delivered to children with hearing impairments nationwide via Cochlea of Love. This helped prevent device loss and supported the children in living their daily lives more comfortably and confidently.

A Koscom representative stated, "Employees participated joyfully by linking the volunteer work with club activities, sharing their warmth with the children," adding, "Koscom will continue to listen to the difficulties of the local community and marginalized neighbors, and carry out sincere social contribution activities."
