International Men's Health Week is observed in several countries during the week leading up to and including Father's Day. The main goal of this health campaign's annual celebration is to increase awareness of preventable health issues (both physical and emotional) among men and boys, as well as to encourage early disease detection and treatment. This year's Men's Health Week will take place from June 10 to 16. This is a great time for all males to think about their health.

A REVOLUTIONARY hearing aid was just one of a number of new technological exhibits on show at the Men's Health Expo in Tamworth yesterday to coincide with Men's Health Week.

It has been designed to select the best speech over noise using parallel processing through a new concept called syncro. Spokesman James Battersby for Oticon, which manufactures the hearing aid, said already the revolutionary device was a big hit in Australia after only being launched three weeks ago.
