Do You Have a Hearing Loss?

How common is hearing loss?

Hearing loss is the second most common disability in the Australian community.  It can occur at any age.  Some
people are born with impaired hearing.  In others it can
occur suddenly as a result of illness or accident.  More commonly it progresses slowly and in early stages it is
often unrecognised.

How important is hearing?

Hearing is essential for acquiring and maintaining normal speech, receiving an education, earning a living, and maintaining relationships with family, friends and workmates.  Being able to communicate is fundamental 
to our self confidence, self esteem and enjoyment of life.  Everyday communication for a hearing impaired person requires mental, physical and emotional effort.

SHHH is here to help

Hearing loss is a very common problem.  A hearing impairment can be very distressing to the individual, couple, family, friends, carers and workmates.  However, there is so much that can be done to help people manage their hearing loss.  With technology, communication strategies and coping skills, communication can be so much easier and more enjoyable.
