Deaf Awareness Week is central to the NFD's national marketing strategy.
Each year, in the last week of September, we focus on a significant issue affecting the deaf and hearing impaired people of New Zealand.
Deaf Awareness Week is also a prompt for all New Zealanders to consider having their hearing tested. If you’re interested in having a free hearing test, contact Life Unlimited Hearing Therapy Services.
The focus of Deaf Awareness Week 2010 was sound injury prevention and rehabilitation.
This year Deaf Awareness Week was prefaced with "Be Heard" Day on 18 September 2010. Members of Parliament were asked to give priority to constituents on that day to discuss issues surrounding hearing loss and deafness.
