Not everyone realises the impact that losing your hearing can have on your social life. How simple pleasures, like going out for dinner or catching up with friends, become so much harder to enjoy when you can’t follow conversations because of background noise or too many people talking at once. It can be exhausting – and isolating.
At our Hear to Meet social gatherings, everyone understands, because they have hearing loss themselves or are close to someone who does. We bring people together in their local communities to share experiences and tips – and have some fun. This could be a natter over coffee and cake, a trip down the canal on a barge, or a one-to-one home visit for people who aren't as mobile. Sometimes, we can arrange transport to make it easier for people to join us.
