-An emphasis on Communication Options
| Hearing
Awareness Week 2005 was theme free. Groups and individuals
were encouraged to become involved in Hearing Awareness Week
and arrange activities and choose a focus that would suit
their community. The main aim, of course, being awareness
and education.
One of Deafness Forum’s focuses was the various communication
options utilised by people who are Deaf or hearing impaired
as they progress through life, including Auslan, lip-reading,
text telephones, relay services, captioning, visual alerts,
hearing aids, cochlear implants and hearing augmentation systems.
