THE HEAR OUR HEART EAR BUS PROJECT PROGRAM

We are a project of the Dubbo & District Parent Support Group for the Deaf and Hearing-Impaired Inc. (also known as the Dubbo District Deaf Club).

Our program has a combined health and education focus, which sets us apart! We are dedicated to promoting ear health and hearing loss prevention strategies by providing a teacher to deliver age-appropriate ear health education to students, staff, and community members.
Our program also includes clinical staff who screen children’s hearing at school if a teacher or parent identifies them as possibly having hearing issues. 


The Hear Our Heart Ear Bus Project relies solely on local partnerships and community donations because we are not government-funded.
Our project has local Hard of Hearing (HoH) volunteers in Mendooran, Gilgandra, Gulargambone, Wellington, Narromine, Trangie, Warren, Yeoval, and Nyngan.

TESTING

We have been providing our services in local school classrooms since 2014.
In May 2017, we moved our testing to our purpose-built mobile Ear Bus, which is equipped with a sound-treated audiology booth.

EDUCATION

We travel to local schools where our trained teachers provide education on the prevention and awareness of otitis media and hearing loss. Our lessons are tailored for children from childcare through to Year 12, and we also offer educational sessions for playgroups and other early childhood groups.​
