held. The meeting minutes record actions (with owner and timeline),
decisions, and financial commitments.

**Activities and**
**Objectives**|Hearing Ambassadors overall objective is
“To educate the public on hearing well-being and in so doing to
enable the development of skills, strategies and competencies to
promote social inclusion regardless of hearing ability”
During 2021, we decided to have a special focus on young people
aged 8-14, We want to encourage them to become aware of the
potential dangers posed by prolonged exposure to the sort of loud
music experienced at gigs, pubs, gyms, and bars, by offering positive
behaviours.| ||| |**2021-2022**
**Achievements and**
**Public Benefit**|The trustees, in making decisions about public benefit, have had due
regard to the commission's public benefit guidance when exercising
any powers or duties to which the guidance is relevant
Undaunted by the restrictions that were imposed by the pandemic on
face-to-face meetings, Hearing Ambassadors managed to take our
hearing well-being strategies to more than 500 people all over the
country. We used video conferencing techniques to connect with
peoplein allcorners of the UK,rangingfrom the ScillyIsles, Wales,| ## **Hearing Ambassadors – Annual Report- 2021-2022** |||Scotland and of course north, south, east, and west of England. We
connected with organisations such as U3A, Rotary, Probus, Macular
Society, After Stroke Clubs, Luncheon Clubs and Dementia Cafes.
During 2021, we became aware of research carried out by the World
Health Organisation which predicts that the number of people world-
wide with hearing loss will rise to 2.5 billion by 2050, and the people
most at risk of noise induced hearing loss are today’s 12–35-year-
olds. In September 2021, we launched our Sound Warriors initiative
which aims to help young people to celebrate their sense of hearing
and understand the danger signs that can lead to permanent noise
induced hearing loss. Armed with this knowledge we hope that our
young Sound Warriors will learn how to protect their hearing and
enjoy safe listening life-long.
During the period, we created a sister website for
www.HearingAmbassadors.orgwhich is aimed at young people and
their leaders.www.SoundWarriors.org, With the help of two 10
year-olds, we produced our first Sound Warriors Video which is
available via the website to anyone who has access to YouTube| |---|---|---| |||| |**2021-2022**
