Feeling quite emotional watching this 🥹. My grandparents, Peter's parents, were born deaf in the very early 1900's when they were considered 'deaf & dumb'. Sign language back then wasn't anything like what it is today. I'm very proud of what they achieved, without a lot of opportunity, and the family they raised.

I'm sad that my grandparents weren't afforded the same opportunities that exist today, but I'm also really proud of how much more awareness there is of disability, and of those out there who are improving inclusivity ♥️.

"Stop drinking, keep reading and look after your hearing". But we particularly like the part about more afternoon naps! 😆😴👂

When does forgetfulness become something more serious? And how can we delay or even prevent that change? We talk to brain expert Richard Restak

Here are some great tips for communicating with people who have hearing loss. Hearing aids do not restore hearing back to 'normal' so try to be mindful of this, particularly with those who are older (80s & 90s) as it can also take the brain a bit longer to process sound information 😊

It's the end of Disability Pride Month, though, we're always celebrating Disability Pride! We love this share from !
​
"​DISABILITY PRIDE MONTH 🏳️‍🌈

July is Disability Pride Month and for me it’s about celebration of life & diversity, self love, advocacy and accessibility awareness💙🧡💜💛

Hearing loss is an invisible disability and it affects our life on a day to day basis.

It is important to remember that the Deaf community is diverse and each individual has different needs and requirements; level of deafness, some may need sign language interpreter or notetaker and some people wear hearing aids/Cochlear Implants. They also have preferences for communication such as some people use spoken language, lip reading or sign language or others may use a combination of spoken and sign language.

Tips on how you can be more Deaf friendly and create an inclusive space🏳️‍🌈
💛Face the person directly and make eye contact; don’t move much as it will be impossible for them to lip read or understand what you’re saying.
💜Tap on their shoulder lightly or wave to get their attention.
💛Use paper and pen wherever possible.
💜Make sure the lights are on and directly on your face so that they can lipread.
💛When in a large group, always make sure that one person is speaking at a time.
💜Always ask what type of communication method they prefer.
💛Speak clearly, slowly, and naturally, without shouting or exaggerating mouth movements.
💜Repeat/ Rephrase whenever possible.
💛Use gestures and body language.
💜Caption your social media content.
💛Avoid sending audio messages or normal call.
💜Consider alternatives such as Email or text messaging to communicate.
💛Support deaf people and their business.
💜Wear Transparent mask.

Lastly, remember that not all disabilities are visible. Please be patient and Be kind to everyone💛💜💛💜💛"

📣📣NEW HEARING AID ALERT!..... Introducing the world's first WATERPROOF hearing aid! 😅
This is welcome solution for many people, particularly those who are very active, play sport, do a lot of exercise, as these will withstand sweat and the elements.

While they may not be practical for swimming lengths, this new solution does mean that you can keep your hearing aids in while taking a dip in the pool or in the ocean 🏊🤽🌧️🏝️

Being avid skiers and mountain lovers, Robin Gillon - professional freestyle skier, is a man after our own hearts! Being a young guy with only 20% natural hearing, the cool and sleek Virto P Black hearing aid not only helps him to hear better but he can also stream music and phone calls. All of this without the traditional hearing aid 'look'.

We've had some great results with our younger patients who have opted for this Bluetooth, earbud-style hearing aid. We're happy to answer any questions if you'd like to know more 😎⛷️👂(about skiing or hearing aids 😆).

We are back! We are now out of quarantine and able to see patients again. We have a bit of a backlog to get through, but we will do our best to accommodate any new enquiries we receive from Monday 21st February as quickly as possible.

Due to a very high demand for appointments, we have had to review our coverage area in order to maintain a high level of service to all of our patients. Please see the postcode map below for our updated service area.

We haven't posted for a while, and we've been very busy seeing patients for hearing aids and cleaning waxy ears but the dreaded virus has finally got us! 🤒🤧
Unfortunately, Peter and I have both tested positive within days of each other and currently isolating.
Until we test negative we are not able to book in any new appointments 😩. Thank you to our very understanding patients and hopefully we'll be out and about again next week 🤞🤞.
Best wishes,
Joma & Peter
