Whatever we watch
However we watch it
5,104 people
helped us campaign.
Major video-on-demand
providers are now
committed to improving
accessibility for viewers
with hearing loss
Our major report,
Hearing Matters,
launched at all
four parliaments
and assemblies,
put forward radical
recommendations for
urgent government
action
We supported 88 projects to
increase hearing research
capacity, make scientific
discoveries and develop
new treatments
£1.6 million
was invested
in biomedical
treatments to
prevent hearing
loss, restore
hearing and
silence tinnitus
65% of the
students
we funded
continue
to carry out hearing
research. The sector
average is 47%
Faced with unprecedented
threats to free hearing
aids, we helped
persuade eight Clinical
Commissioning Groups in
England to scale back or
cease plans
90% of our volunteers would recommend us to others:
“A good charity to volunteer with. You’re kept
well-informed and feel part of the organisation.”
