Five million people of working age are deaf or have hearing loss or tinnitus, but little is known about the support people are getting – or not getting – to help them in work, and the impact that this has. To find out more, Action on Hearing Loss are asking people who are currently in work to complete a survey.
The survey asks questions to find out:
● what support, if any, you are receiving in the workplace and how this helps
● what support would be helpful in the workplace that you are not receiving.
Results fro this survey will enable Action for Hearing Loss to work with service providers and the government to improve the support services available for people who are deaf or have hearing loss or tinnitus in work.
The information you provide in this survey will be used for research purposes. Your responses are anonymous and you will not be identified in any reporting or publication of the results.
By completing each question in this survey, you consent to Action on Hearing Loss to use this information as described above. You can choose which questions you want to answer and do not want to answer.
The survey should take around 15 minutes to complete. You can access the survey here: https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/TM8Y58Y?fbclid=IwAR1SGT9V8MsA95IdSOGCtK8-02W0epaetUl9NQcexLzUtn1bRpJh897JECs
If you have any questions about the survey or would like to complete the survey on paper, please email the research team at panel@hearingloss.org.uk
