Free hearing test in the library. Did you know that one in five Australians - over three million people - have a significant hearing loss? A hearing loss may happen suddenly or gradually, but either way, it's invisible. It often isn't obvious or understood. Australian Hearing is an Australian Government agency dedicated to helping people manage their hearing impairment so they have a better quality of life.
