Hearing Australia will conduct free hearing checks on the Central Coast later this month.
In Australia, it is estimated 3.6 million people are living with some degree of hearing loss and a third of those have a hearing condition that could have been prevented.
The number of Australians with hearing loss is expected to double over the next 35 years, and by 2050 one in four Australians are expected to be impacted.
Hearing Australia is hitting the road providing access to free hearing checks for adults aged 18 and over during its Hearing the Nation tour this March.
The tour kicked off in recognition of World Hearing Day which is marked by the World Health Organisation on March 3 every year to raise awareness of hearing loss and promote ear and hearing care with this year’s theme being Ear and hearing care for all! Let’s make it a reality.
Checks on the Central Coast will be available: March 20 at Amcal Wadalba; March 21 at Amcal Kanwal Pharmacy – Medical Centre; March 23 at Amcal Max Kanwal Village; March 27 at Amcal Toowoon Bay Pharmacy; and March 28 at Amcal West Gosford Pharmacy.
