Mowry is a renowned sculptor who has operated a studio in Victoria for over 45 years. “Because I am hard of hearing, I have difficulty communicating with my studio assistants, with fabricators, engineers, public art consultants, and journalists,” he explains.
Fiona is a professional engineer. Communication is key at her job. However, she has moderate to severe hearing loss in both ears.
“Without hearing aids, I would be quite ineffective at my job. Singing is something I have learned to be able to do with or without my hearing aids.”
“I have a profound hearing impairment. It means that it is difficult for me to follow group conversations.”
“Hearing loss has limited my ability to interact with both customers and co-workers. It became necessary for me to ask people to repeat themselves several times in order to understand [them].”
