DDS free hearing tests
January 24, 2014
Discount Drug Stores (DDS),
with Australian Hearing, is running
free hearing clinics in more than
100 of its stores until March, to
help fight hearing loss.
Customers over 21 years old can
book an appointment online to
have their hearing tested using
an audiometer by an Australian
Hearing Health promotions office,
Discount Drug Stores said.
The officer would explain the
outcome and advise customers on
what to do next such as seeking
further medical advice if required.
Customers could also visit to get
general advice about ear care or
discuss concerns about hearing, it
said.
DDS professional services
manager Casey Clark said that
people should get regular testing
to make sure problems were picked
up and treated before permanent
damage occurred.
“Often by the time they’ve sought
help, their condition has already
significantly impacted their quality
of life,” she pointed out.
“This is what our clinics aim to
address by giving customers a
greater understanding of hearing
loss and of the physical, social and
psychological side effects that come
from waiting too long to get tested.”
