(3/3) Currently more than 85% of deaf children under five still can’t access this support. This inequality must end. Let’s make change happen. Back national guidance for Auditory Verbal therapy by writing to your MP now: avuk.org/hearusnow

(2/3) UK Government Ministers at @DHSCgovuk — today, it’s time to hear us now. These children and young people are asking you to take action and increase access to Auditory Verbal therapy which supported them to learn to listen, talk and thrive.

(1/3) Today is World Hearing Day - an annual global awareness day led by @WHO and raising awareness of deafness and hearing loss and this year's theme of ‘hearing care for all children’.

Friends make life richer—and everyone deserves to be included. On #WorldHearingDay, here’s how you can support a friend with hearing loss: - Take turns when talking so your friend can follow the conversation - Face your friend when speaking - Help, or call for help, if their hearing aid isn’t working - Include your friend in play and group activities - Never make fun of people with hearing loss or hearing aids Learn more 👉 bit.ly/4l97XkQ

Today is #WorldHearingDay. Did you know? More than 95 million children and teenagers live with hearing loss. Many don’t get health services to remedy this. Spot the possible signs of hearing loss in children: ⁉️ Frequently asking you to repeat 📖 Struggling with attention or keeping up at school 👂 Complaining of ear pain or ear discharge 🗣️ Showing delayed speech and language development Early checkups and simple treatments can make a big difference. Don’t wait! Take your child for a hearing test. Learn more 🔗 bit.ly/4l97XkQ

(3/3) But more than 85% of deaf children still can’t access it. That’s a postcode lottery of access no family should face. 👉 Write to your MP and urge them to support national guidance for Auditory Verbal therapy: avuk.org/hearusnow
