The blue and white mobile hearing service buses have provided more than 94,000 free hearing checks in communities across Australia since the first bus was launched in 2009. 

With about 60 per cent of Australians over 60 experiencing some form of hearing loss, the buses aim to raise awareness of the issue.

Manager at Australian Hearing Maitland Deanna Connor said it was common for people be unaware their hearing was diminishing.

“A hearing check is a quick and easy way to measure the sounds you can and can’t hear,” Ms Connor said.

“Our team will also be on hand to guide you through what next steps you may have to take in regards to your hearing.”

Visitors to the bus can also find information on a range of common hearing issues and view a display of easy-to-use hearing devices for around the home.

This includes headsets for watching the TV and alert systems for doorbells.

The Australian Hearing Bus will be at Kingdon Street, Scone on Wednesday December 20 from 9:30am to 3pm.

No appointment is necessary and you must be over 18 years of age to visit on the day.
