How we made a difference to…
People with hearing aids
“Finding out how to work
my hearing aids means I can
socialise more easily and hear
more of what’s being said.”
“An excellent service. I know
that my hearing aid will be
serviced on a regular basis –
without the journey and wait
at Audiology.”
“It’s great to know I can have
my hearing aid looked at
locally.”
“Just so nice to have someone
to talk to about my hearing aid.
I feel comfortable with it now,
rather than it being a bit of a
struggle.”
“This is the first time I’ve
attended your hearing aid
services. I was amazed at
how kind and helpful the
staff were. It’s much easier
to go somewhere local as I’m
disabled.”
People with tinnitus
“I suffered from lack of control,
lack of sleep and anxiety issues…
I got no support elsewhere – this
service was a lifesaver.”
“I was at the end of what I could
cope with. I couldn’t have faced
another night. Then two calls and
a couple of hours later, a Support
Officer came out and gave me
lots of information, explanations,
equipment – lifesaver!”
“I’m more confident that I’m not
on my own. GPs should refer to
this service.”
“I’m in a much better place now
and coping better – less isolated.”
“Fantastic distraction techniques…
I’m improving by the week.”
