We provide services to people aged 26 and above who are deaf, live with hearing loss or dual sensory impairment which is also known as deafblind or deafblindness.

Before we can offer you our services, a doctor needs to make sure that your hearing loss is permanent, unless it has been since birth or childhood.

If there are changes to your hearing, you can ask your GP for an ear examination. Once you have received the right health input, we can provide you with the support you need.

You might have wider needs beyond your sensory impairment, maybe you are finding it hard to remain independent at home, or there are other issues affecting your health and wellbeing. In this case, we can offer you a full care needs assessment.

The assessment

We look at how your sensory impairment affects your day-to-day life and the things you want and need to do at home and in the community.

We know that everyone is different, so the options will be discussed with you during your assessment and you will be involved in decisions about how best to help improve your situation in a way which makes a difference to you.
