Private Hearing Aids?
Hi I recently had a private hearing test and tried out two new hearing aids at The Hearing Clinic UK. I could hear the consonant sound 'th' for the first time in years and my own voice sounded much better. It normally sounds stretchy and tinny with my NHS hearing aids. I have sensorineural hearing loss

Care home Covid rules
This is a home of 6 healthy young adults with autism and
learning
disabilities
. I have written to my MP about care homes for younger adults being treated the same as care homes for the elderly when the risks are very different.

Go big or go home club night
What we know is people with
learning
disabilities
are often socially isolated as there are many barriers for them to over some with in flexible staff rota, transport or simply not knowing where their peers hangout. We are trying to change that locally.

Hearing loss and Lupus
Hi all. I am just wondering if anyone with lupus have any issues with their hearing. My GP thought during recent continuous flares this is affecting my hearing. I went for a hearing test and was told I had 40% less hearing and I could either buy a hearing aid for £500 or get referred to GP. I went for

Questions for Audiology & ENT
