I wanted support that respected the way I communicate instead of expecting me to adapt. Maple took the time to understand what worked for me, and that has made everyday life feel much more comfortable and independent.

The difference with Maple was how naturally they communicated with my daughter. They listened, were patient, and always made sure she felt included in every conversation. It's given our whole family real peace of mind.

What is Hearing Impairment?
Hearing impairment refers to a partial or complete loss of hearing that can affect one or both ears. It ranges from mild to profound and may impact communication, education, employment, and everyday activities depending on the individual’s level of hearing loss and communication preferences.
Is Hearing Impairment covered by the NDIS?
People living with hearing impairment may be eligible for NDIS funding if their hearing loss results in a permanent disability that significantly affects their ability to participate in everyday life. Eligibility is based on functional impact rather than diagnosis alone.
What are the different types of Hearing Impairment?
The three main types of hearing impairment are conductive hearing loss, sensorineural hearing loss, and mixed hearing loss. Each type affects hearing differently and may require different treatments, assistive technology, or support strategies.
Can people with Hearing Impairment live independently?
Yes. Many people living with hearing impairment live independently with the right combination of assistive technology, accessible communication, practical supports, and community services. The level of support needed varies depending on each person’s goals, lifestyle, and individual circumstances.
How can I create a more inclusive environment for someone with hearing impairment?
Creating an inclusive environment may involve reducing distractions, ensuring important information is accessible, being mindful of communication preferences, and giving people the time they need to participate in conversations and everyday activities.
