Event description: Do you have a hearing loss and…
- want to make better use of your hearing aids?
- want better access to services and equipment?
Effective Hearing Programmes (EHP’s) are one day workshops to help you adjust to having a hearing impairment. Whether or not you wear a hearing aid, you are welcome to attend and we encourage people to bring a family member or friend as the course will also be relevant to them. Some people find wearing a hearing aid very frustrating, and it can take them some time to feel comfortable and confident. Effective Hearing Programmes gives you a chance to share experiences, challenges and successes with others in similar situations. All our EHP tutors have personal experience of hearing loss.
The Course covers:
- How the Ear works.
- Tinnitus & Coping strategies.
- How to cope in different day to day situations.
- Services available to people with hearing loss in Shropshire.
- Information about the equipment available to help you with your hearing loss.
- Access to work and the Equality Act 2010.
- A brief insight into lip-reading and courses available locally.
Today’s programme runs from 10 am to 4 pm and you will need to attend the whole day. Complimentary drinks are provided.
