Hearing
Awareness Week is an annual event held in the last complete 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.
