Sound Future

The West Norfolk Deaf Association has teamed up with the Social Services Sensory Support team and Adult Education Lip-reading Tutor to provide a support group to help those who have been issued with a NHS hearing aid for the first time.

Now you’ve been fitted with a hearing aid would you like further advice?
