Tuesday 18th July Speaker Meeting
The Royal National Institute for the Deaf is now known as Action On Hearing Loss, a much more positive title.
Karen Squire is the Regional Information Officer SW who came along to our Speaker Meeting and provided us with some invaluable information about the whole issue of deafness, (one in six of us in the UK has hearing loss) and explained the range of services that are on offer.
Some people are open about wearing deaf aids and are even prepared to choose something quite artistic. We must be aware of those who are more reticent and realise that they can become isolated. Communication, understanding and patience are required.
The Devon Outreach Centre is based at The White House, Broomhill Way, Torquay. TQ2 7QL
