Hearing support sessions

If you or someone close to you has hearing loss, or you are experiencing a change in your hearing, you may benefit from the advice of our peer support volunteers via drop-in sessions held across the UK.
Emotional and practical support
If you are looking to talk in confidence to someone who understands the changes in your hearing – we can help. Our trained peer volunteers are on hand to offer emotional and practical support about different aspects of living with and managing your hearing.
You can also find out more about hearing loss, where to access technology that could support you day-to-day and information about local services that are available.
