Every October, we’re reminded of how important it is to look after ourselves — to book that breast screen, that health check, that little reminder that prevention matters. But good health isn’t just one appointment a year. It’s about noticing all the ways our bodies change and giving them the attention they deserve — including our hearing.
Many people in our community tell us they “hear fine most of the time” but struggle in conversations or noisy places. It’s easy to brush it off, yet research now shows that untreated hearing loss doesn’t just affect communication — it can also speed up memory and thinking changes linked to dementia. Taking action early protects more than just your ears; it supports your brain and your connection to others.
For over 15 years, Active Audiology has been part of Melbourne’s west and north — helping locals stay socially engaged and confident. Because Active Audiology is independent, the audiologists take time to listen and guide you through every option, not just what’s on an online list. Whether it’s a baseline check or a chat about better hearing strategies, you’ll always get honest advice from people who care about this community as much as you do.
So this month, while we’re all thinking about self-care and early detection, add your hearing to the list. A simple hearing assessment can make a big difference — for your wellbeing today and for the years ahead.
