Breaking the Silence: How the Leslie Edwards Trust Helps Empower People with Hearing Loss

Living with hearing impairment can be incredibly isolating. For me, it’s been a long journey—something I’ve struggled with since my teens. It’s only after years of not fully understanding what was happening that I found out about my hearing loss. Now, I work with the Leslie Edwards Trust (LET), a charity that’s close to my heart because of its mission to support people like me.


LET isn’t just about raising awareness. It’s about creating real change. Through our lipreading and communication classes, we help people of all ages connect with their communities and rebuild their confidence. It’s not just a class; it’s a lifeline for those who feel disconnected from the world around them.


The impact of hearing loss goes beyond just the individual. It affects families, friends, and people’s day-to-day lives in ways most people don’t realise. LET steps in to help bridge that gap, offering support to anyone facing the struggles that come with hearing impairment.
