Hon ANDREW LITTLE: Severe or profound hearing loss has a huge impact on people, affecting their family lives, their social lives, and their ability to work. I was impressed with a story from a person who stopped me in the street recently to tell me of the impact on her brother, who was in his 50s, who benefited from the increase in investment this Government put in cochlear implants at the end of last year. He rang her to tell her that for the first time, he heard his grandkids, and he was—and this was April—off to the beach, would you believe, not to swim but so he could go and listen to the waves. It's those simple things that make a huge difference to the enjoyment of people's lives and increases their wellbeing.
