Welcome to Hearing Awareness Week 2008!

Sunday 24 - Saturday 30 August 2008

One in six Australians – it’s more common than you think.

Hearing Awareness Week is an annual event held in the last week of August. It provides an opportunity to raise community awareness of hearing impairment and ways to protect your hearing. This week is a key event for Deafness Forum which is the national coordinating body.

Hearing Awareness Week also provides an opportunity for the 22 percent of Australians aged 15 years and over who have a hearing impairment to share their experience and knowledge and help to create a greater understanding of their needs and aspirations. Find out more
