Do you remember the first time?
This month's #hearinglosshour is all about coming to terms with having hearing loss - acknowledging to yourself that you have hearing loss, seeking help and telling others.
According to UK charity, Action on Hearing Loss, “on average it takes ten years for people to address their hearing loss”. We’re hoping that the positive stories shared during #hearinglosshour will encourage others to take that first step towards seeking help.



To further help people, this month we've teamed up with Phonak who are providing two of their Audiologists who will be on hand to answer your questions. Tweet @Phonak with the hashtag '#audiologist' alongside '#hearinglosshour' during the live twitter session.

Don't forget, you can sign up for reminders to #hearinglosshour here.
