Hearing Awareness Week 2022

Arches Audiology participated in the World Health Organisation’s - World Hearing Day 2022 (3 March) by participating in a number of special events. The theme was ‘To hear for life, listen with care’ , and so with that in mind, Arches Audiology attended the launch of the Menzie’s School of Health Research Otitis Media Guidelines App presented by Professor Stephen O’Leary and also joined in Soundfair’s Unheard Film Festival. Both events were enlightening and inspiring and will no doubt inform how I practice audiology.

Just a day earlier, Arches Audiology attended Ramahyuck District Aboriginal Co-operation and listened with care to the 11 adults and children who were seen for hearing assessments. In addition, we promoted listening for life by emphasising the importance of communication strategies, recommending visual alert systems for the home for better awareness of sounds and surroundings, and discussed ways in which people can access hearing supports in educational settings and hearing aids via different pathways without having to commit before actually trialling them.

Here are some of my favourite photos from the week :)
