In line with this year’s theme, ‘Caring for Our Voices’ we’re encouraging empowerment through understanding diagnosis for dysphonia, a common voice disorder.

Available in multiple languages below, the Eye and Ear’s Dysphonia fact sheet covers information about vocal cords, speech, symptoms and how to look after your voice:

Auslan is the language used by the Australian Deaf community, and today, on Auslan Day, we celebrate its impact since the first Auslan Dictionary was published in 1989.

At the Eye and Ear, patients or carers requiring an Auslan interpreter can request one when booking their appointment at the hospital, or by contacting our Interpreting team at interpreters@eyeandear.org.au.
