Hey you mob, Deadly Ears!

Are your ears bothering you?

Do they hurt sometimes?

Having trouble hearing people?

Do you need to turn up the volume regularly to hear music?

Does it feel like someone is having a party in your ear?

What about school? Are you too shame to say you can’t hear the teacher at the front of the class?

What can you do about it?

Contact your local Aboriginal Health Service for a Deadly Ears screening today.
