No

Not hearing properly
I have high pitched tinnitus in my left ear and moderate hearing loss in both ears When I wear my hearing aid I get another sound like wind blowing in my left ear . When I am not wearing my hearing aids I don't get this extra sound Also my hearing test says I have similar hearing loss in both ears

Menieres Diagnosis
After having a couple of vertigo attacks and continued daily dizziness and nausea I spoke to my ENT consultant on a phone consultation He seems to think I might have menieres and when I asked what test they would do all he said was a hearing test. Surely there are more tests than that . Is this right

Covid vaccines and ADHD in England
Why are all those with
learning
disabilities
, neurological conditions and autism now eligible for vaccines but those with ADHD are not included in this? I am happy that others are receiving their vaccines now but I am upset that ADHD is not included.

How long does it take to get an assessment?
He is 27 years old and has mild/moderate
learning
disabilities
. We are hoping that he will be assessed by adult social services with a view to possibly living independently, gaining more permanent employment and being given a support worker.

Covid vaccination - category 6?
Our son has autism and severe
learning
disabilities
and is 18. We thought he was eligible for the covid vaccine in Category 6 and were led to believe that our GP had to let the vaccination service know that he is in group 6.
