Let’s hear it for seminar
MANY Australians don’t realise how quickly hearing loss can sneak up – and the impact can be more than just missing a word.

It can affect relationships, safety, confidence and mental health. The good news? Early detection and modern hearing solutions can make a vast difference.
To help our community take charge of their hearing, AUDiOHEALTH is hosting a free hearing health event on World Hearing Day on Tuesday 3 March, as part of Hearing Awareness Week.
This is your opportunity to join local and interstate experts and access the best professional advice, the latest technology and practical solutions – all under one roof. Empower yourself with knowledge and experience the latest noise reduction technology and clarity in background noise with a live demonstration.
The event, hosted by Cairns’ voice of the North John Mackenzie, will feature leading presenters from Sydney sharing insights into hearing loss prevention, early warning signs, and the latest life-changing hearing solutions.
“This event is about education and empowerment,” says organiser Joanna Magee. “Hearing loss can creep up slowly, but with the right support, it doesn’t have to hold anyone back,” she said.
“Life can change for the better. We want everyone to know their options.”
Participants will enjoy complimentary morning or afternoon tea, enter prize giveaways throughout the day and leave with clear guidance on protecting their hearing and improving their quality of life.
