FREE HEARING TESTS are being provided throughout the country next week as part of Positive Ageing Week.
The hearing healthcare provider, Hidden Hearing, has launched its National Hearing Screening Programme which will provide a free screening in its 65 centres throughout the country next week.
Its mobile clinic will also be visiting locations across Ireland including Tipperary, Monaghan, Kilkenny, Dublin and Louth in the coming week offering free hearing tests to those interested.
“Our National Hearing Screening Programme will help address the problem of untreated hearing loss, particularly among people over the age of 60, many of whom delay seeking treatment,” Dolores Madden, the marketing manager of Hidden Hearing said.
“With our population growing older, we are facing a hearing loss time bomb if people continue to ignore their hearing health. People need to be encouraged to value their hearing.
“It is staggering that it still takes people up to 15 years before they address their hearing loss, compared to around three years for sight problems”.

Wow these poor souls are the collateral damage of Angela Merkel & Peter Sutherland’s forced population replacement policy.
@Chris M.: NGO’s aren’t helping these economic migrants. Their hands have just as much blood on them. The question is why is rich Africa failing economically?
@Danny foley: because it’s the third world and it’s resources are being exploited by the first world
@Chris M.:
This was migration from Somalia and Ethiopia into Yemen – nothing to do with mama merkel this time.
@Chris M.:
ahhaha , fake account who’s too much of a pussy to stand behind what he believes in
The cruel sentiments of some of the Irish commenters, disregarding of the suffering and deaths of fellow human beings, seeking to score points of billious prejudice off human tragedy, is beyond shocking.
@Tony Daly: just like you man, they got the shotgun, you got the briefcase
@Tony Daly: What on earth are you raving about this time?
@Frank Cooney: “the world is helping these people”
No.
The world is exploiting these people. While their leaders may be corrupt, so are many of ours and of course companies that get rich from it.
Fact is that we are all responsible for the turmoil in Africa, so if a few try to cross from the hellhole we created that is our fault, no?
You can remove your blame by researching and not purchasing from companies which exploit impovished nations.
@Andy K: Oh, and lets not forget all those countries bombing Africa for decades (hint: they are not only being bombed by third world countries).
@Tony Daly: agreed Tony. It’s disgusting. You have to hope that it’s not representative of our population
How bad must Somalia be for people to be desperate to get to Yemen?
@methodical2020:
hmm you seemed to have missed russia’s continued destabilization of Ukraine in your indignation of happenings around the world
@Stephen Coveney: Ukraine is not in Africa….
It will not stop, the majority are now economic migrants wanting a better life.
The traffickers / murderer are only one part of it..
Africa on the whole is corrupt and poorly run..
Countries that once thrived are now desolate.
Until Africa is sorted, the migration across the med will stay at this level for year’s to come…
I don’t care anymore.
have your say
