Hearing-Impaired Social Support Group

Additional Information

The gift of hearing, deeply woven into our health and the fabric of daily life, holds a profound influence over our education, employment, and overall happiness. The ripple effects of hearing loss are vast and impactful. Among those touched by this issue, a significant number are individuals over the age of 60. By 2060, it's projected that as many as 7.8 million people could be navigating life with at least mild hearing loss, a number largely driven by an ageing population. As we grow older, many of us face a gradual and inevitable decline in our hearing, making hearing loss a widespread health concern closely tied to ageing.

Living with hearing impairment is a challenging journey, often leading to social isolation, loneliness, and mental health concerns like depression and anxiety. Providing the warmth of social interactions is vital for both mental and physical health. Beyond the communication challenges, it's well-documented that hearing loss can impact one's cognitive health and daily routines, influencing every aspect of life.

A support group designed for hearing impaired participants who rely on the spoken word.

A ray of hope emerges in the form of a support group for those with hearing impairment, a haven where activities like art therapy and games are held. Every participant plays a role in shaping the group to cater to individual needs. This group is not just a support system; it's a beacon of hope, a safe space where everyone's voice is heard and valued.

Sessions commence in February 2025. Please contact Andrea to register your interest on 9856 1500.
