Did you know your child can give physical signs of hearing loss? If any of these signs sound familiar it's worth testing your child's hearing. buff.ly/32evhDA #hearingloss #hearingtest #SoundScouts #kidswithhearingloss #hearinglossawareness #education #audiology

We recently surveyed schools who screen their students hearing with Sound Scouts. 75% of the children who failed, showed no physical, behavioural or learning indicators of hearing loss. #earlychildhoodeducation #education #earlyeducation #school #primaryeducation #hearingloss

"We had one little girl who had struggled with learning, social interaction and school refusal since Kinder. Thanks to Sound Scouts in Year 4 the parents took her to be tested and she now has hearing aids and is happy, making progress and friends." buff.ly/32evhDA

Another great example of elegant design that benefits all. AirPods Pro now have the potential to help people with hearing loss. We love that Apple continues to demonstrate their commitment towards health and accessibility.buff.ly/30nvIjY #inclusivedesign #universaldesign

Marvel's new series Hawkeye talks to hearing loss in a real life way. The 'superhero' Hawkeye AKA Clint Barton suffered severe noise damage and his hearing loss is a plot point that comes up regularly. buff.ly/3oRiqWj #marvel #disney #hawkeye #inclusion #diversity

Increasingly research shows the issue of hearing problems extending beyond what can be identified by the standard audiogram. Our test data has continually shown that listening difficulties in noise is a common, and when left unmanaged, life-limiting issue. buff.ly/3DRMgOW

Age-related hearing loss is a growing issue in the United States and other countries. For #WorldHearingDay, we asked JHU Cochlear Center for Hearing and Public Health director Frank R. Lin, MD PhD about some things you can do to lower the risks of age-related hearing loss, and about exciting developments to help with it.

For a decade we've built and refined Sound Scouts with the mission of ensuring children can hear to learn, so they can achieve their potential! We've done the work and in AU we're part of the solution. But our future is uncertain because there's a debate about who should pay?

Tomorrow, Sound Scouts moves to a paid app in Australia. We're disappointed the Federal Gov chose not to extend free access but we appreciate the opportunity we've had to build awareness about the prevalence of unidentified hearing loss in children. 135,000+ tests were completed

Observing behaviour may not reveal if a child is not hearing you, or if they are hearing you but not processing what you are saying. Auditory processing/ listening difficulties in noise can be misdiagnosed so it's important to test with the right tools. Sound Scouts can help!
