RNID: For deaf and hard of hearing people.

RNID supports the community by informing, assessing need and providing equipment for deaf, deafened, deafblind and hard of hearing people.

We do this through RNID Community Equipment Services, which works in partnership with a number of local authorities, health care trusts and sensory groups. We have set up projects around the country to help users of hearing aids and have trained staff and volunteers who offer help in a number of areas.

What do you need

RNID offers support and advice to deaf and hard of hearing people who need help with equipment. Find out how we can help you, whatever your needs, and read about your rights and the services you should receive from your local authority.
