RNID: For deaf and hard of hearing people.

What are the benefits of the support services we offer?

We help patients, audiologists, NHS trusts, and health and social services teams by ensuring patients can use their hearing aids more effectively, so they continue to benefit from them.

Patients

Patients that we work with will have:

  • improved use and better troubleshooting abilities
  • an understanding of the limitations of their equipment
  • improved confidence
  • links to local groups and services
  • reduced isolation
  • better overall communication and enhanced quality of life.

Audiologists

Audiologists that we work with will see:

  • better patient outcomes
  • improved feedback
  • reduced waiting time pressures
  • improved quality of service
  • well defined training programmes
  • continuity of care and service.

Finally, health and social service teams that we work with will achieve:
