LIONS HEARING TESTS

Dear Parents,

Like many other Lions clubs across Victoria, Diamond Valley Lions Club is offering pre-schoolers and prep children (3½ - 6yrs) hearing tests as part of its community service program.

Students under supervision from Melbourne University’s Audiology Department will carry out the play-based testing, and parents will be informed immediately and referred to their GP if hearing abnormalities are detected.

Early detection of hearing loss is critical for the development of normal speech and language skills. Statistics indicate that around 3% of children tested are found to have to have difficulties.

These tests are FREE OF CHARGE, and will be held between 9am & 4pm on Saturday, 7th September at Wattle Glen Primary School.

Parking is available on Reynolds Rd and Sunnyside Crescent. Entry to the school is on Sunnyside Crescent.

Testing can take up to 30 minutes, and a parent or guardian must be present.

To book, go to www.diamondvalley.vic.lions.org.au , click on ‘Hearing Test’ in the top left corner of the home page, and follow the directions.

If you have more than one child to test, and only one guardian, choose following appointment times with the same tester (eg 10am & 10:30am with Amy)

Contact Lions member Fiona Kates 0404 180 772 / kateschiro@icloud.com if you require further information or assistance with booking an appointment.
