Helping
Men
Reconnect

We believe in helping as many people as we can receive Hearing Loss treatment by removing the cost barrier involved in obtaining this treatment

How can we help?

Our team specialise in helping men who have experienced hearing damage, and who have a valid entitlement, access the resources they need.

 

By making it easier to find hearing aids — and get assessed if they don’t have an entitlement — we aim to remove the barriers that prevent many from reaching out.

 

To focus on making a real difference to the deaf and hearing impaired, as well as those who have suffered extended loud noise exposure, we are working to:

Educate the public on the different types of hearing loss and why they happen

Reduce the average waiting time between experiencing hearing loss symptoms and seeking specialist help

Helping those who have suffered exposure to loud noise to reconnect with their family, friends and the wider community

Provide guidance for those who don’t have entitlements so no one feels like they’re being ignored or left behind

If you would like to learn more about how we can help you or a loved one, regardless of your entitlement status, simply get in touch at your convenience. And if you’re passionate about helping men aged 50 and over enjoy a better quality of life, we’re always happy to hear from individuals who share our vision for a better approach to hearing care.

A third of men aged 65 to 74 can be categorised as deaf and hearing impaired, while this rises to nearly 50% for those over 75 years old.

No, we are a registered charity. We’re fully funded by donors and actively looking for like-minded individuals and organisations to help us grow.

Don’t let our name fool you — we help everyone! We focus on men because they’re twice as likely to experience hearing loss and yet they’re also twice as likely to put off doing anything about it. If you’re a woman looking for a screening test and expert advice, we’ll help you determine if you’re eligible for a no out-of-pocket entitlement.

If you think you are experiencing any of the symptoms of hearing loss, or if you simply want to put your mind at ease, speak to an audiologist at the earliest opportunity. Here’s a reminder of the key symptoms to look out for:

 

  • Difficulty understanding when people are talking
  • Frequent dizzy spells and loss of balance
  • Constant ringing sounds in your ears
  • Muffled hearing and a feeling of pressure
  • Head trauma, particularly around the ear
  • Ototoxic drugs and a history of hearing loss in the family
