The campaign is running in radio, TV, digital, social and retail, across Australia and NZ.
Most people over 60 stay on top of their health with regular check-ups. Whether it’s eyes, prostate or breasts – they realise at their age it’s important. But one check-up that gets ignored is hearing.
They would rather live with gradual hearing loss, and continually ask what, huh, pardon or sorry until it seriously impacts their life and the people around them.
Audika teamed up with Ward6 to create a campaign of positive change and motivate over 60s to stop ignoring the whats and to start being hearing healthy.
"With hearing loss affecting one in two Australians over 60, and linked to other health issues like dementia, it’s time we recognised hearing health as a vital part of our overall health," Ward6 strategy director Scott Davis says.
The campaign is running in radio, TV, digital, social and retail, across Australia and NZ.
"Our research highlighted there’s a lot of denial when it comes to hearing," Audika general manager retail Jane Smith says.
"The What? campaign demonstrates an important truth, and it elevates hearing health to being just as important as the rest of our health needs. And it gives doing something about it a sense of urgency."
