Where to get help
Take the next step to get help for your hearing problem
Today, 1 in 6 people in Australia and 1 in 4 people in New Zealand are affected by hearing loss.
Hearing loss in adults is common and unfortunately seems to worsen with age. Hearing loss can manifest itself in a variety of different forms, conductive, single sided, sensorineural or mixed. Hearing loss can happen gradually or suddenly, affecting one or both ears and can have a substantially debilitating impact on your way of life.
When it comes to minimising hearing loss, acting swiftly is crucial so is measuring hearing loss regularly. Make sure you're getting your hearing tested; look for the tell-tale signs of hearing loss, which range from misunderstanding what people say to finding it difficult to hear on the telephone.
