Welcome to the Safe Listening Student Resource Hub
Explore our FACT Sheets to safeguard your hearing and ensure a brighter, healthier future. Your ears deserve it!
Why We Created These Resources
Hearing loss from loud noises is on the rise, and young people are particularly at risk. Communities in farming and agricultural regions are especially vulnerable, making it crucial to act now to avoid lifelong problems that can impact well-being and future opportunities.
An Urgent Issue
Every day, young people in agricultural communities encounter harmful noise—from loud farm machinery to booming music at social events. These common sounds can cause permanent hearing damage. Unfortunately, many students don’t realise the risks or how to protect their hearing.
A Step Forward for Healthy Hearing
We’ve teamed up with the National Centre for Farmer Health to create educational resources. Launched during Safe Listening Week in August 2024, these resources reflect our shared commitment to building healthier communities.
