We’re at the Sunshine Coast Disability Expo! 🌞

Here we go again – this time we’re in Caloundra representing hearing loss for the whole Sunshine Coast.

We’ve just done a lap of the venue – 99 exhibitors – and once again CICADA Queensland is the only group here talking about hearing loss and hearing implants.

That’s why we’re here – because every single event we hear the same stories:
👂 “I have hearing aids, but I don’t wear them.”
👂 “I have hearing loss, and my hearing aids don’t work anymore.”
👂 “My parent has hearing aids but won’t use them.”

And it never takes long before we meet the first person who makes the whole day worthwhile – the one who just needed someone to listen, share what options are out there, and give them hope. 💛

So, if you’re anywhere near Caloundra today – come and say hi!
We’d love to chat, answer your questions, and show you what’s possible with today’s hearing technology.

Our table today proudly features information from:
Cochlear Southeast Asia | MED-EL | Bionics | Oticon Medical | Captioning Phone | Audeara | Queensland Health

📍 Sunshine Expo – Caloundra Indoor Stadium
🕘 We’re here until 3pm – pop in and see us!
