AGM & “Hear Here” Hearing Ambassadors.
The Hearing Ambassadors aim is: 
To help people with good hearing become aware of the unseen effects of hearing loss so that they understand what it is like and know how to relate to those living with hearing loss.

To encourage people to look after their own hearing health and not to take their hearing for granted.

To signpost good practices and support groups and organisations that provide help for those with hearing loss, their friends, and family.

To encourage people to talk openly about their hearing loss without being embarrassed or worried about being teased.
