Giving opportunity, trust and voice to women isn’t just a value, it’s how we grow.

With 80% female representation across our workforce and 75% female representation at executive level, we see every day that when women are empowered to lead, everyone gains.

We count ourselves as being so fortunate to have such an incredible team of women who are contributing to drive innovation, patient care, and life-changing hearing research every day.

This International Women’s Day, we celebrate the impact of investing in women, because when we give, we all gain.

Hearing loss affects millions of people around the world, from the very young to the elderly. At Ear Science Institute Australia, we’re passionate about changing that. Our researchers, surgeons and audiologists are dedicated to making a difference to the lives of those who live with ear disorders and hearing loss.

With the launch of the Aussie Ear Bank in 2024, we’re taking great strides in genetic research to better understand the causes of hearing loss and fast track new, targeted therapies. By combining innovation with compassionate care, we’re working toward better treatments today — and real cures for tomorrow.

Caring for your hearing aids is caring for your hearing health. Here are our top 4 care tips to maintain your hearing aids and protect your hearing.

1. Keep them dry.
Remove hearing aids before showering, swimming or heavy exercise. Moisture is one of the biggest causes of damage.

2. Clean them daily.
Gently wipe with a dry, soft cloth to remove wax, sweat and oils. Avoid water or cleaning sprays.

3. Store them safely.
Place them in their case or a drying container when not in use. Never loose in a bag or on a bench.

4. Charge regularly.
Replace batteries or recharge daily so they’re ready to go (and to avoid unexpected drop-outs).

For many living with hearing loss, conversations are exhausting and at times can be incredibly stressful. It’s natural to want to withdraw but avoiding connection can lead to isolation, loneliness and emotional distress.

Our research has shown that untreated hearing loss is linked directly with increased social withdrawal, loneliness and reduced quality of life - but it doesn't have to be this way.

If you or someone you love is withdrawing from social life because of difficulty hearing, you don’t have to face it alone.

Good luck to all swimmers taking on the 2026 Rottnest Channel Swim this weekend.

A special shoutout to our two incredible teams swimming in support of Ear Science Institute Australia:

~ Team 1. The Cochlear Kickers, led by Lauren Young and a crew of lifelong friends (including one travelling all the way from the U.S.), are taking on the Rottnest Channel with the goal of raising $15,000 to support life-changing hearing research.

~ Team 2. Jim McLarty, who is swimming to help fund vital research and clinical programs improving hearing outcomes for people across WA and beyond.

We are incredibly grateful to both teams for choosing Ear Science as their charity for this year’s swim - we’ll be cheering you every stroke of the way!
