This week (Monday 3rd May 2021 to Sunday 9th May 2021) is Deaf Awareness week. The ‘Coming Through it Together’.
Jenny Heath, Convenor of Shropshire Deaf and Hard of Hearing Forum has asked Shropshire Disability Network to share this information on their behalf.
A New website and updated information on sudden hearing loss is useful too:
To suddenly lose your hearing can be a very frightening and worrying experience. Hearing loss for most people is a gradual progression, but if you experience a sudden or very rapid loss (in one or both ears) then you may have a condition called ‘Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss’ (SSHL).
Hearing link also have a range of communication badges and lanyards and accessible masks:
For Businesses and promotion of deaf awareness:
We thank Jenny and all Shropshire Deaf and Hard of Hearing Forum for sending Shropshire Disability Network this information to share with our members and contacts.
