Kingaroy business iHear is sponsoring a Hearing Awareness Week open day on Friday (August 29) at the Lutheran Church Hall in Youngman Street.<\/p>\n

There will be information about hearing tests, hearing aids, hearing rehabilitation and hearing protection.<\/p>\n

The open day will run between 10:00am and 3:00pm.<\/p>\n

Hearing Awareness Week<\/a><\/strong> runs from August 24-30 to raise awareness of hearing and hearing loss.<\/p>\n

“If you’re concerned that you may be losing your hearing, tackling the problem early can improve both your hearing and your quality of life, including your relationships,” iHear audiometrist Shae Cull said.<\/p>\n

“People who are fitted with hearing aids early are likely to get more benefit from them than those who put up with hearing loss for years before seeking help.<\/p>\n

“It can take up to 15 years for people who clearly have hearing loss to get tested – a key reason for those long years in denial is the stigma of hearing loss.”<\/p>\n

Shae said regular hearing screening was recommended from age 55.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
