To celebrate Hearing Awareness Week 2016, the Minister for Human Services Hon Alan Tudge MP officially introduced a new support service that’s dedicated to helping people improve their hearing health.
Called Hearing Help, the free phone line and web chat puts people directly in touch with a fully-qualified hearing specialist, at absolutely no cost.
Minister Tudge announced the new support service, when he visited the Australian Hearing centre in Box Hill, Victoria.

“This new service was created to break down the barriers that face many Australians with hearing loss. With Hearing Help, Australian Hearing has made hearing advice accessible and convenient for all Australians,” said Minister Tudge.
“One in six Australians currently experiences some sort of hearing loss and this figure is expected to grow to one in four by 2050. So, it’s important to get clear advice and support if you or a loved one are having issues with hearing.”
