Betty from Glasgow:

"One in Seven is full of human interest. Its campaigns have changed lives for many. For myself the advice on digital aids has been invaluable."

Elaine from North Humberside:

"I have only been a member for a short time, and was very impressed with my first copy of One in Seven.

It's very reassuring to read about other people in similar situations to myself, and about how they cope with their hearing loss. It really helps to know that there are so many other people living with hearing difficulties similar to, or worse than, my own.

I was also amazed to read about all the wonderful appliances available to help with watching television and using the telephone. I have never been given any information about these by the audiology department at the hospital where I received my hearing aid, so RNID and One in Seven have opened up a new world for me. I have read my first magazine cover to cover and eagerly await the next one.

Many thanks for an excellent publication."

“Reading One in Seven makes me feel I am not alone in being deaf, and that there are solutions to some of the problems.” Patricia from Hertfordshire

Norman, email to One in Seven team:

"I am a great fan of One in Seven. I find that many of the pages are worth keeping for chasing up my MP and local councillors."

Frances from Mid Glamorgan:

"I read your magazine from cover to cover, I especially enjoy "Mailbag" as I can relate to other readers' problems. Congratulations One in Seven."

Member from West Yorkshire:

"My tinnitus and most of all hyperacusis is dreadful, much worse than the deafness to experience (I try not to use the word suffer!).

However, because of the help over the years you have given me, I CAN COPE! I look forward to your continuation of this, and the good sense, wisdom and perception you offer. Please keep it up!"

Lilian from Oxfordshire:

"I do look forward to One in Seven. It has all the latest gadgets one could use to help to hear better, also I love reading members letters. There is so much in the magazine that is so helpful."

Mr Cuthbert from Lancashire:

"I write to express my appreciation of your kindness in sending the three magazines which I have found to contain many interesting articles and much information, some of which I have already used to my benefit."

Linda, email to One in Seven team:

"Your product reviews have changed my life! For the first time I can listen clearly with the recommended Samsung MP3 player. I know now that if it's good enough for your user panel it's good enough for me. I'm now looking forward to the Sonido."

Johanna, Lipreading Tutor, Warwickshire:
"I love reading my One in Seven when it comes out, and I always learn something new and interesting every time.   

My lipreading students who are members also find it invaluable - it makes them feel less isolated and more proactive in managing their hearing loss. Many have also joined the campaigns network and are committed to improving services for everyone, whether RNID or lipreading class members or not. The product reviews are particularly useful."
