Your Sight and Hearing
Our specialist team offer free support, impartial advice and equipment information in relation to living with sight loss, hearing loss and tinnitus.
Free Support and impartial advice
When our sight or hearing isn’t one hundred percent the things we want to do become harder which can affect our mood and motivation to do things.
Our specialist See Hear team offers free support, impartial advice, and equipment information about living with sight loss, hearing loss, and tinnitus. Helping you do everyday things more easily.
Equipment to loan
We have a wide range of equipment that you can loan for one week to try out at home so that you can find out what is best for you. We can then advise you on prices and where to purchase the equipment you choose.

David’s Story
“When I was diagnosed I went through a very difficult time. I felt despair and self pity. I thought I would not be able to do anything for myself. See Hear gave me hope and inspired me”.
William’s Story
I didn’t know what to expect or if they would be able to help me. When I got there it was fabulous. The equipment you can try out and hire makes all the difference.
