The future is hear and full of possibility for the 3.6 million Australians impacted by hearing loss – which is set to double by 2060.1 Research shows that every second person knows someone affected by hearing loss, yet it can take up to 10 years for many of us to actually do something about it.2

Help us spread the word by sharing our digital pack of social media tiles, stats and more!
