All Ears hasn't added a story.
We’re going to be running the Sheffield half marathon dressed as ears, please hear us out….
On April the 12th seven courageous pionEARS will be running the Plusnet Yorkshire Half Marathon Sheffield for the charity All Ears.
All Ears is an organisation dedicated to raising awareness of tinnitus. Tinnitus is an audiological condition where the sufferer hears ringing in their ears; this can start out as temporary after exposure to loud noise and turn permanent with continued lengthy exposure to loud sound such as music at parties or night clubs. There is currently no cure for tinnitus so sufferers can never hear silence.
Yet considering the severity and prevalence of the condition a remarkable amount of people who put themselves at risk through regularly going to night clubs do not know what tinnitus is. All Ears works hard to change this, based in Sheffield, they work with clubs and clubbers to offer free hearing protection and informal advice. A large barrier to the uptake of hearing protection is that there is a large stigma associated with wearing earplugs in social environments; All Ears tries to change the perception of hearing protection away from embarrassing to smart, necessary and even sexy!
As a tiny organisation with next to no funds, All Ears has managed to achieve a lot. It has made connections with local and national charities such as Party for The People, CADs and the British Tinnitus Association. It has campaigned on nights out giving out ear plugs and informing clubbers of the risks of loud music through its ‘Hearing protection is Sexy’ campaign, which has been endorsed by musicians such as DJ Hype and Fatboy Slim.
However in order to reach more people and reduce the occurrences of tinnitus it needs your help. All Ears is in desperate need for funds so it can increase its Hearing Protection is Sexy Campaign to cover more venues in Sheffield and supply clubbers with hearing protection. It wants to create music listener and party-goer specific information leaflets about the condition and a licensing scheme to encourage venues to supply hearing protection.
Any donations will really go a long way to helping All Ears raise awareness and reduce stigma around hearing protection and tinnitus.
Thank you.
