Help with your hearing aid
Sound Advice can also give help and support to individuals and families who are finding it difficult to manage with a hearing aid. The help offered is in the following areas:
- Hearing aid maintenance – cleaning and re-tubing
- Advice for families to help them to understand the problems faced by a hearing aid wearer, and to improve communication
- Support for new hearing aid wearers by someone who has worn one for a long time
- The loan of communication equipment to enable hearing aid wearers to attend public events
Talk and demonstrations about the work of Sound Advice can be arranged for local groups and societies, by arrangement with the Manager.
All the services of Sound Advice are free, jointly funded by the Royal National Institute for Deaf People and the Isle of Wight Council Social Services Department.
