Australian Hearing is once again excited to partner with Amcal, Amcal Max and Guardian pharmacies around the country to deliver hearing checks and hearing aid health checks to adults aged over 21.
From February 1 to March 11 2016, free in-pharmacy hearing checks can be completed with a trained representative from Australian Hearing.
This is the fourth year Australian Hearing is partnering with Australia’s largest pharmacy group to help improve the nation’s hearing health.
In Australia, one in six people have hearing loss and this rate doubles for those over the age of 60. However, on average, most people wait seven years before seeking help.
“A free and simple hearing check can help prompt those who may be noticing signs of hearing loss to take the first step,” said Head of Clinical Support at Australian Hearing, Wendy Pearce.
“We are pleased to offer this service in partnership with Amcal, Amcal Max and Guardian as a way to reach out to more people in our local communities and spread the word together,” added Wendy Pearce.
During the 15-minute consultation, people will learn their results plus receive advice on what to do next. This may include an invitation to attend a full hearing assessment with a clinician, available at no cost to Australian pensioners.
