Sue Daw, OAM

Sue has had a hearing loss all her life due to Otosclerosis and is a successful hearing aid user.  She joined the Canberra Group Hearing Loss Management Class in 1994 because she was interested to know if she could lipread.  She enjoyed the classes so much she decided to become a BHA teacher and completed her two year Aural Rehabilitation Course in 1996.

Sue has been the Convenor of the BHA Canberra Group for many years and teaches two BHA classes a week. Until recently, she was Vice President Services and Training on the National Board. She is still the National Co-ordinator of Teachers Network producing the National Teachers Newsletter which helps our BHA teachers Australia-wide keep in contact with each other.

Sue was awarded an OAM in the Australia Day honours list of 2009 for service to people with a hearing impairment through teaching, training and executive roles with Better Hearing Australia.
