Support services are available for patients who are living independently and are deaf or have hearing impairment. Assistance is offered with telephones, text-phones and listening equipment, induction loops which work with your hearing aid, alarms, alarm clocks, doorbells and teletext adapters, smoke alarms and more.
The Social Services department you need to contact will depend on the borough you reside in. Contact your local council and ask to speak to the Sensory Support Team or the person who works with deaf or hard of hearing people.
We can make the referral on your behalf, during your visit to the department.
