There’s nothing quite like the bond between a grandparent and their grandkids 💛

But for some, that bond becomes a full-time responsibility, and it can be tough.

Many grandparents are stepping in to raise young children, often putting their own needs last and that includes their hearing health.

If this sounds familiar, you're not alone. We see you, and we’ve created a way to help.

Read Don’s story about Marlene, and how she found support when she needed it most.

Hearing loss and the high cost of hearing aids are deepening the challenges faced by grandparent carers, leaving many struggling to connect.

How many times have you walked out of a concert with your ears buzzing like a broken phone? 🎸👂

Favourite bands and their high-octane performances can leave you with souvenirs not available at the merchandise stand: ringing ears and potential long-term damage.

AC/DC’s own Brian Johnson knows it too well. He actually lost his hearing mid-tour, and had to stop performing.

Now he’s back... with hearing aids and a loud message.

If a rock icon can normalise hearing loss, use hearing tech, and get back on stage like a legend, what’s stopping the rest of us from taking care of our ears?

💬 Read the story. Share it with a music-loving mate and let’s turn the volume up on awareness.

Behind the high-voltage announcement lies a quieter, more personal story – the battle frontman Brian Johnson fought to hear the music again.

Ever been told by a GP, “We’ll need to book another appointment for that”?

You’re not alone. Appointments are short, and that means quieter issues, like hearing loss, often get missed.

But just because hearing loss doesn’t feel urgent doesn’t mean it isn’t serious. Left unaddressed, it can affect your mental health, cognitive function and leave people feeling isolated.

That’s why we’re passionate about giving people simple ways to understand their hearing, in their own time, without clinics or pressure.
