Now the broadcaster, author and former doctor is turning his attention to our ears, encouraging anyone who has noticed a change in their hearing to take a free test. “Hearing change is completely normal and is nothing to be embarrassed or ashamed about,” he stresses. He should know: Mosley has been experiencing hearing loss for several years. “At 66, my hearing’s not great,” he tells me over the phone. “I really struggle in social settings such as pubs and restaurants.” I assume he wears hearing aids these days. “I’m not quite ready for a hearing aid yet!” he protests. “My hearing’s not bad enough. I’ll go back in a year or so for another test.” This might make Mosley an odd choice to front Specsavers’ hearing-test campaign – but his attitude reflects a society-wide reluctance to wearing hearing aids. And at least he has actually taken a hearing test. A much-cited 2007 study showed that, on average, it takes people 10 years from noticing hearing loss to getting it checked out. Ten years later, another study found the situation has only slightly improved... ... “There is a lot of evidence that people with untreated hearing loss are at significantly increased risk of depression and anxiety,” says Mosley. Katie Ogden, a hearing-aid dispenser with the maker ReSound, says this is partly because hearing loss can be isolating... Enjoy the connection and wonder of a true ambience!

Truck stowaway 'lucky to be alive' after hiding beneath B-double for 390km trip to Gold Coast. A man who stowed away beneath a B-double trailer instead of paying for a short taxi ride home is lucky to be alive after he ended up travelling nearly 400 kilometres on metal racks suspended barely a metre off the road. A 43-year-old man, believed to be under the influence of alcohol, had crawled onto metal racks beneath the truck with plans to hitch a 40-kilometre ride along the New South Wales coast but ended up on the Gold Coast. Truck driver Pardeep Dahiya said he was driving a Sydney-Brisbane freight run and had stopped in Nambucca Heads for a short nap at about 1:30am on Friday. Mr Dahiya said after a quick coffee and completing his checks, he set off again at about 2:40am. "When it started to get light, I could see in my mirrors a piece of orange cloth under my trailer," he said. "I knew it wasn't coming from inside the trailer. It was coming from underneath the trailer." Just north of the Queensland-New South Wales border — about 350 kilometres from his last stop — Mr Dahiya found an emergency stopping bay near Tugun and climbed out of his cabin to investigate. What he saw was a man climbing out from the gate racks stored in the trailer's underside. "When I saw that I took two steps back thinking, 'What is it?'," Mr Dahiya said. "Then he said to me, 'Sorry. Sorry, man. It's my mistake. I came in under the trailer'. "That's very different for me. It's very new for me. I can't imagine anyone getting in underneath the trailer."..... Cheers.
