Free hearing test in Ararat

Ararat residents can get their hearing checked free of charge on April 9 as part of a Big Aussie Hearing Check.

Australian Hearing is urging people to make the most of the 15-minute tests on the first floor of East Grampians Health Group’s Ararat hospital.

The session will be from 10.30am to 12.30pm.

People can also check their hearing online and learn more about their hearing health at website bigaussiehearingcheck.com.

Developed by National Acoustic Laboratories, the research division of Australian Hearing, the online test is the first of its kind in the world.
