AUSTRALIAN Hearing is offering free hearing checks for Hawkesbury residents at Windsor RSL Bingo on Monday, February 26.
The free hearing checks are part of Hearing Awareness Week, and Australian Hearing is encouraging adult residents to embrace their hearing health as an extension of their fitness regimes.
“To stay in top shape, people should consider a hearing test as part of their regular health check-up, just like they would get their eyes checked or test their blood pressure,” said Australian Hearing Windsor centre manager David Maple.
“A hearing check is a quick and easy way to measure the sounds you can and can’t hear. Our team are also here to guide you through what next steps you may need to take in regards to improving your hearing.”
According to Australian Hearing, signs you may have a hearing loss include:
- A ringing sensation in your ears (tinnitus), including whistling, buzzing and hissing in your ears;
- Your family complains you have the TV too loud;
- You have difficulty hearing people on the phone;
- You keep saying “what?” and ask people to repeat themselves;
- You have stopped participating in activities you used to enjoy; and
- You feel isolated and confused in noisy situations.
Windsor RSL is located at 36 Argyle Street, South Windsor, and the free hearing checks will be available from 10am until 2pm.
