We provide a comprehensive service, sorting out which environmental aids are best for you if you are deaf or hard of hearing. RNID also manages and installs equipment, as well as training service users how to use aids safely and appropriately, so that they can be independent.

We can give you information about the sort of equipment you can use at home and work, as well as in the car  and when you go out socially.

What happens if I have other sensory loss?

We can assess the equipment needs of people with multiple sensory loss or disability through our partners, which includes the Royal National Institute of the Blind (RNIB) (external link, opens new browser window).

Who else is involved in assessment?

Where appropriate, we can work closely with, and ask for the support of, local social services or community support teams.
