Get LOUD for kids with hearing loss!

It's that time of year to raise awareness and funds of a topic that is very close to my heart.

Hearing loss is the most common condition diagnosed at birth in Australia and New Zealand - my son was one of those; diagnosed with permanent bilateral hearing loss. By school age, 1 in 300 children will have permanent hearing loss. 

My family was very lucky because we got a lot of support and early intervention from Perth Children's Hospital and at 5 months, we started attending TSH (previously known as Telethon Speech and Hearing). Sadly, half of the children in Australia with hearing loss receive no specialist support, but you can help change that.  

By getting LOUD and donating to Loud Shirt Day, you’ll be helping fund life-changing early intervention services that help kids learn to hear, speak and thrive.  

Your support brings opportunity, connection and a brighter future to children affected by hearing loss. 

This October, turn up the volume and help spread the message!
