Action on Hearing Loss is the new name for RNID. We’re working for a world where hearing loss doesn’t limit or label people, where tinnitus is silenced and where people value and look after their hearing.

We want:

  • people to acknowledge their hearing loss and take action
  • more support for people with hearing loss
  • no one to be isolated through their hearing loss
  • people to protect themselves against hearing loss and tinnitus
  • to cure hearing loss and tinnitus.
