RNID volunteer Gerry Knight paid our Stay Young ladies a visit last week. He delivered a very informative informal presentation covering a range of issues relating to living with Hearing Loss and how to make life a little easier for yourself and others.

Gerry has a wealth of knowledge and experience that he is happy to share, it’s fair to say it was a very worthwhile morning for those in attendance who learned so much in such a short space of time. The ladies discussed everything from hearing aids to mobile Apps, and much more.

If you or someone you know is living with or experiencing hearing loss , RNID are there to help. They provide support for anyone who is deaf , has hearing loss or tinnitus . Why not get in touch?

Telephone 08088080123
Email - contact@rnid.org.uk

They are open Monday to Friday 8.30am to 5pm !
