Why Manage Hearing loss?
Because hearing loss can lead to communication problems in a hearing world, people with hearing loss can become isolated within families, socially and at work, which can lead to low self-esteem, depression and other health problems. Frequently, withdrawal and avoidance of social situations arises and this increases a person's feeling of being cut off from everyday life.
Sign language is a wonderful way for deaf people to communicate with each other. However, most hearing impaired people live in the hearing community and need to be able to communicate with hearing people.
By making the best use of technology such as hearing aids and developing communication strategies and lipreading skills in a supportive and friendly environment helps to reduce the problems and there are huge benefits from joining a group and meeting with others who face the same challenges in daily life.
At the Leslie Edwards Trust we make it easier for people with hearing loss to develop strategies and skills so that they can regain the enjoyment of communicating with family, friends and at work.
