According to the RNID, 4 million people in the UK are losing their hearing
but do nothing about it.
So what's the problem?
Research suggests it may be because of embarrassment, but hearing loss can have a huge impact on
people’s lives. It can be easier to get used to the amplified sound of a hearing aid in the early stages of
hearing loss than if you have already lost a significant amount of hearing and got used to a 'quieter world'.
If you are having difficulty with hearing, you may wish to do the RNID’s quick and simple test to check it out.
All you have to do is make a phone call. You do not need to speak to anybody.
The telephone number links to an automated test which can be completed in a few minutes.
The test will confirm if you have a problem that requires attention or not.
Take the RNID telephone hearing check by calling 0845 600 5555.
