Community Events

Natural Hearing is dedicated to helping the local community become more informed about hearing loss. Our expert Audiologists hold regular awareness campaigns in local Care Homes and Community Centres educating people about hearing loss - its causes, the tell-tale signs, the different types of loss that may occur, and how to communicate effectively with people with a loss. We also provide Carers with in-depth training on dealing with hearing aids including changing batteries, cleaning and general maintenance of a hearing aid. We enable carers to have hands-on experience with the different types of hearing aids and learn about the different parts so that they can provide better care for the users of hearing aids.

We are focused on dealing with problems that people are facing on a daily basis and our aim is to help people who have a hearing loss and their carers understand and deal with it effectively and live their life happily and comfortably. Our question and answer sessions allow us to interact with the community and solve real issues that users/carers are facing. This in-turn helps us to improve and maintain our excellent standard of service.

We provide free information packs during all our events providing a wealth of information and useful links.

March 2010 Events

Natural Hearing visits Acacia Lodge Nursing Home, Croydon, Surrey.

We provided in-depth training to Care Workers and allowed them to handle and familiarise themselves with different types of hearing aids. We gave them a fascinating opportunity to look inside their own ears using a modern video otoscope.

We listened to the problems Care workers face when dealing with residents with a hearing loss and taught them techniques on dealing with them more effectively. The use of hearing screeners gave carers an opportunity to test their own hearing at different frequencies.
