Neuromod
Hi all. I have now reluctantly cancelled my appointment with Neuromod next month. After several hearing tests which are all different, most show I have two lower range frequencies losses in one ear which are at 42.5/45 DB. Neuromod have confirmed that this definitely rules me out. I was going to chance

I'm new here
First, I have
learning
disabilities
so I hate myself for it. I think I feel depression because I am always in my room either on the computer, tv or phone. I will be in my room all day long and everyday. I will only go out if I need to. I may have anxiety too. I have bad social anxiety.

ENT referral
Age 16 I had an ear operation, they cut (?) the eardrum as it was badly scarred from frequent infections. So I’ve always had reduced hearing in left ear though it’s gotten worse recently.

learning
disabilities
, we did try talking to her GP but he has said the NHS don't do assessments for adults so we are abit stuck as to what to do now. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Constipation information excludes Learning Disabled who are at particular risk. LeDeR learning into action but nothing on this site
My son who had severe
learning
disabilities
, Downs and Autism suffered a period of painful malnutrition caused by untreated chronic constipation. This issue that affects those with LD far more than the general population has been totally excluded from the guidance I have read on this site.

Power of attorney or deputy?
Hi, I’m a parent of a 19 yr old d with severe
learning
disabilities
and some physical disabilities. Recently she was issued a fine for claiming a free prescription the day before she turned 19. ( maybe the pharmacy put it through the system a couple of days later?)

new to the big T
so, where do i start? I went deaf one afternoon back in january, along with pain under my eye, just like you get with sinusitis. I had a shower later and managed to get water in that ear (to the point where i had to tilt my head and tap to get it out) and since then i noticed a slight ring in that ear
