Deaf Awareness
Hundreds of school children, members of numerous charities and civil servants from various Government departments can communicate better with people with a Hearing Loss1, thanks to our work.
We introduce the subject and give tips on
how to communicate better with everyone.
BOOK YOUR TALK!
Prevention
As there’s not a cure for Hearing Loss1, we work hard to inform the community how they can protect their hearing. A loss, or more commonly Tinnitus from industrial noise, concerts or headphones happens slowly, but obvious in later life
Each year we attend the Gibraltar Music Festival and
distribute ear plugs and earphones, especially to children.
We’re also campaigning for noise regulation and monitoring.
PROTECT YOUR HEARING!
Events
Each year we’re invited to the Christmas Convent, National Day celebrations and Gibraltar Music Festival,and often have a stand in Casements. Our well-presented stall is staffed by knowledgeable Volunteers, who hold factsheets not collecting tins.
During October 2018, we did this every day, promoting
the Hearing Loss Survey at the Primary Care Centre.
Every year we seek new opportunities:
