Supporting people with hearing loss and their families
CICADA Queensland - Supporting those with Hearing Loss
At CICADA Queensland, we understand that hearing loss affects not only the individual but also their family, partners, and those around them. Our Living With Hearing Loss (LWHL) sessions, hosted by John and Donna Ross, provide a safe and welcoming space for people to share experiences, ask questions, and learn from others who have lived experience of hearing loss.
These events are designed to:
- Offer practical insight and personal stories from people living with hearing loss
- Support family members, spouses, and partners in understanding and navigating hearing loss
- Encourage peer-to-peer support and meaningful connection
- Highlight the importance of regular hearing checks and professional guidance
Every session is unique, shaped by the people in the room and the questions they bring. While the focus is on lived experience rather than professional advice, our sessions aim to enhance understanding and empathy for both individuals and their support networks.
Upcoming events
We regularly host events across Queensland, including Townsville, Bundaberg, and the Sunshine Coast. Our sessions often lead into larger initiatives, like the Hearing Solutions Summits, which provide broader learning opportunities for the hearing loss community and professionals alike.
