Active Communication Education (ACE) Program

Because there are things you don’t want to miss…

Communicate better with BHA’s ACE Your Hearing Program Program.

Hearing loss can be challenging in all sorts of ways not just for you but for those around you as well, particularly family and friends.

Maybe you’ve been avoiding doing some of the things you used to enjoy or maybe you don’t go out as much anymore because it’s simply too hard to hear.

With the new ACE Your Hearing program, you can do something about it and get back to doing the things you enjoy.

Course Overview

The second edition of the Active Communication Education (ACE) Program was developed from input from past participants, organisations like BHA and from of research conducted in the Communication Disability Centre at The University of Queensland. 

The program aims to help adults with hearing loss to become more effective communicators and to provide them with strategies to cope better in everyday life. 

It is a rehabilitation option for adults with hearing loss who might not want to wear hearing aids all the time or who want more than what hearing aids alone can provide.

ACE Program Benefits

ACE Your Hearing helps with communication including:

1. Improving Everyday Communication: Learn practical, evidence-based strategies to better manage conversations in real-world settings.
2. Building Confidence: Regain confidence in social interactions and reduce the stress and anxiety often linked with hearing challenges.
3. Reducing Isolation: Reconnect with your community and feel more included and supported in group and one-on-one settings.
4. Helping You Get the Most from Hearing Aids: ACE is designed to complement hearing aid use, teaching techniques that maximise their effectiveness in daily life.

Proven Outcomes

A recent study investigated whether Active Communication Education (ACE) could improve the overall quality of life for older adults who use hearing aids.

While hearing aids are effective in addressing specific hearing challenges, many individuals continue to face difficulties in daily interactions and may experience feelings of isolation.

The study found that participants who completed the ACE program reported significant improvements in their general well-being compared to those who did not participate.

This suggests that combining hearing aids with communication training can lead to better social engagement and overall life satisfaction.

These findings highlight the importance of incorporating communication skills training alongside hearing aid use to enhance the daily lives of older adults with hearing loss.
