How We Started
Over ten years ago, Anne Blanch and David Closs commenced work at the Tasmanian Deaf Society as screening audiometrists, conducting hearing testing for the community throughout Tasmania.
To assist with income generation for the Tasmanian Deaf Society, opportunities were identified doing hearing testing for industry and the making of custom moulded ear plugs. Over the last ten years, these two businesses became the primary focus of our work.
In 2017, the Tasmanian Deaf Society amalgamated with the Victorian Deaf Society and in 2018 became Expression Australia.
In 2018, the decision was made to discontinue the industry hearing testing and custom moulded ear plug business. After negotiation, it was agreed that I (David Closs) would purchase the industry hearing testing and custom moulded ear plug business and from July 1st 2018, registered the business as Hear Safe Tasmania.
At that time, Anne Blanch joined our business as our northern Tasmanian screening audiometrist with Anne Lang joining us in Hobart as our business manager and trainee.
