ACE Your Hearing with Arches Audiology

Improving Communication for Older Adults with Hearing Loss: Contribute to Hearing Health Research and Make a Difference for You and Your Community!

Arches Audiology is teaming up with The University of Queensland to deliver an important new program designed to support older adults with hearing loss — and the people who share their daily lives.

The ACE Your Hearing program is a small-group, research-based initiative that focuses not only on communication strategies, but also on social connection and emotional wellbeing. Many older adults tell us that hearing loss affects far more than sound — it influences relationships, confidence, and the simple pleasure of staying involved in conversations. This program aims to change that.

A key feature of the research is the involvement of family members and close friends. They are not invited to “check in” on anyone or because we assume someone can’t manage alone. They are included because communication is a shared responsibility. When both sides of a conversation understand how to support each other, communication becomes easier, frustration reduces, and social life becomes more enjoyable for everyone involved.

Participation in the program is free, and community members aged 50+ with hearing loss — along with family or friends aged 18+ — are warmly encouraged to take part.
