For many Australians, the quietest struggle is hearing loss – not just the fading of sound, but the isolation, strained relationships, and uncertain next steps that follow when hearing aids are no longer enough.
But there is hope… and it all starts with connection.
CICADA Queensland has been a lifeline for people with profound hearing loss for over 35 years, transforming from a small social group to a bold, state-wide leader in peer support, education, and advocacy. With hearing loss now expected to reach one in four this year, and more young Australians impacted than ever before, CICADA Queensland’s mission has never been more urgent.
This month, CICADA Queensland is bringing that mission to Mackay. On Monday, 26 May, from 7pm to 9pm, Ocean International will host a free Community Information Evening, offering a warm, welcoming space to meet others, hear real stories, and discover real solutions – including implant options that may offer renewed hearing when aids no longer suffice.
Whether you're living with hearing loss, or walking beside a partner or parent who is, this evening is for you.
“Too many people are told, ‘Sorry, nothing can be done,’ says CICADA Queensland’s President John Ross.
“But there is a solution – and this night might just change the direction of your life…You don’t have to face this alone.”
Light refreshments will be provided, but seats are limited – RSVP’s are essential.
