Hearing Concern LINK delivers a Self Management Programme for adults with Acquired Hearing Loss which contains a range of very useful strategies and techniques to enable those living with deafness to maintain their independence and quality of life.
The course covers many topics including goal setting, communication strategies, how to access equipment (such as flashing smoke alarms and vibrating alarm clocks), personal safety, relaxation and well-being amongst many others. All sessions are delivered by experienced trainers who themselves are deafened.
The course is free of charge and is suitable for anybody who is deafened and would like to further their knowledge and understanding of services available as well as methods of how to cope day to day with a hearing loss.
Sessions are supported by a verbatim speech to text reporter and participants are encouraged to share their own experience and coping strategies and to learn from others in the group.
There are 3 sessions in total, each taking place between 10am and 3pm on a Saturday (please contact Hearing Concern LINK for details of forthcoming dates and venues).
Refreshments and lunch will be provided free of charge.
