FREE COMMUNITY EDUCATION PROGRAM
ACE Your Hearing.
Better communication. Less frustration. More confidence in everyday life.
Join HearHere Australia for two relaxed, practical group sessions designed to help adults living with hearing loss communicate more confidently.
Open to adults of all ages with hearing loss. Communication partners are welcome and encouraged.
ABOUT THE PROGRAM
Hearing loss affects more than hearing.
Everyday conversations can become tiring or frustrating when you're living with hearing loss. Restaurants, family gatherings, meetings and conversations in background noise can all present challenges.
ACE (Active Communication Education) is a group communication program developed by the University of Queensland. It focuses on practical strategies for navigating everyday listening situations and improving communication confidence.
HearHere Australia is delivering this round of ACE Your Hearing as a free community education program, open to adults with hearing loss regardless of age.
LEARN · PRACTISE · CONNECT
Small changes can make a big difference.
Across two relaxed group sessions, we'll explore practical ways to manage everyday communication challenges and make the most of the hearing and listening strategies available to you.
Everyday listening challenges
Explore why certain situations are difficult, including conversations in background noise, group discussions and listening at a distance.
Communicate with confidence
Learn practical strategies to reduce misunderstandings, manage difficult listening environments and communicate your needs.
You're not doing this alone
Share experiences, learn from others and involve the people you communicate with every day.
WHO CAN ATTEND?
Hearing loss doesn't have an age limit. Neither do we.
ACE Your Hearing is open to adults of all ages living with hearing loss, whether your hearing loss is recent or longstanding.
You don't need to wear hearing aids to participate. People who use hearing aids or cochlear implants are equally welcome.
We encourage you to bring a communication partner, such as a spouse, family member or friend. Learning together can make it easier to put communication strategies into practice at home.
