Yes we have about 10 cases per year presenting with a sudden sensorineural hearing loss in the shoslhaven alone. We need to investigate and medicate as soon as we possibly can. If you experience a sudden loss then reach out to us and let us help you
Alison

Sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) can occur without warning sometimes overnight, sometimes in a moment.

It may present as:
• A sudden drop in hearing in one ear
• A blocked or “full” sensation
• Tinnitus
• Difficulty understanding speech

And it’s often mistaken for something simple like ear wax or congestion.
But this is different.

SSNHL is a medical emergency.

Early intervention can make a significant difference to outcomes.
For clinicians, it’s a reminder to act quickly.
For patients, it’s a reminder not to wait.
Because when it comes to sudden hearing loss, time matters.

Thank you to our wonderful interpreters bringing life and meaning to people with a hearing loss.

Today is an important day for our community, Interpreter Appreciation Day! 🎉

It’s important to stop, reflect and say a big thank you to all of our interpreters across Australia. Deaf Connect is proud to employ hundreds of interpreters who act as vital bridges between language and culture — whether in everyday conversations or the most complex, high‑stakes scenarios.

We truly appreciate the work that you do, your dedication, and your support in connecting people every day and supporting communication access between hearing and Deaf people.

So thank you — thank you to all interpreters here at Deaf Connect, and to interpreters across the Deaf community! 💛

Is hearing loss exhausting? Yes of course it is! Patients often speak about the hearing fatigue.

Continual visual contact may be causing Zoom fatigue for many, but this is nothing new to people with hearing loss. It is how we hear!

What causes tinnitus?
Tinnitus isn’t a condition on its own — it’s a symptom.
Common causes include: • Hearing loss
• Noise exposure
• Ear conditions (such as wax blockage)
• Stress and fatigue
• Certain medications
A hearing assessment is often the first step to understanding what’s contributing to tinnitus and how it can be managed.
Reach out and make contact.
Tinnitus is treatable, ring us on 4441 8886 or 4455 6000.
