You can give the gift of communication this Christmas

Jean (pictured) has been accessing both our NHS Hearing Aid Support and Information, Advice and Guidance services throughout 2023.

Jean is housebound and relies on family and carers to support her. Due to multiple challenges in Jean’s life, she has been struggling to manage her hearing aids this year. Without amplification Jean cannot understand speech, or listen to her favourite television and radio shows. At times communicating with Jean has been almost impossible due to her deteriorating hearing. This had led to feelings of frustration and isolation for both Jean and her family and carers.

Hearing Help Essex have been supporting Jean with our equipment loan service, advice service, and home visit service throughout 2023.

Jean’s story is not unique.

Hearing Help Essex have delivered 943 home visits so far this year to people living in similar circumstances to Jean. A 68% increase in demand when compared to the same period in 2022.

Our Charity is just about weathering a challenging storm; the economic crisis, increased costs, and a huge rise in demand for our services means that we are having to work harder than ever before to raise the funds needed to keep these services available to everyone in need.

We are the only Essex-based Charity providing services to those with acquired hearing loss. Please help us to help more people in 2024.

Your generosity will enable us to ensure people are not isolated by their hearing loss.
