Together, we’ll make life more inclusive for deaf people and those with hearing loss or tinnitus.
POSTS STORIES REELS
One moment, Lloyd Griffith was enjoying time at a wedding. The next, he was living with permanent hearing loss in his right ear. For the first time, Lloyd is opening up about his experience of sudden hearing loss. His story is also an important reminder that sudden hearing loss can be a medical emergency. Contact 111 or your GP, or visit A&E if you experience the same as Lloyd. by @rnid_uk
Sam Workman has worn hearing aids since he was four. Now, he’s joining RNID as an ambassador. “I’ve worn hearing aids since I was four, but something I don’t think people always realise is that they don’t magically remove all the other noise around me. Wind, background noise and busy environments can make something as simple as having a conversation much harder, and sometimes I’m concentrating more on trying to work out what someone is saying than actually listening to the story 😂 But there are simple changes that can help. Get my attention before you start speaking, face me so I can see your lips, and learn a basic British Sign Language (BSL) phrase. But most importantly, don’t give up on the conversation. That’s why I’m really proud to be joining RNID as an ambassador. As someone who has grown up with hearing loss, I know first-hand how much those small changes can make a difference, and I want to help more people understand what it’s really like to navigate everyday conversations with hearing loss. I’m also supporting RNID’s ‘It Does Matter’ campaign because everyone deserves to be included in the conversation. RNID found that 78% of people would be willing to learn simple ways to communicate better with people who are deaf or have hearing loss, so let’s start with the little things that can make a massive difference.” by @rnid_uk
Noise induced hearing loss is preventable. Wearing earplugs at festivals, concerts, gigs and clubs help to ensure you can continue to enjoy the music long into the future. Listening to your headphones below 60% volume and taking breaks every 60minutes is important too. RNID and I will be sharing some videos this week about hearing loss, tinnitus and earplugs so that you can make an informed choice to wear hearing protection and save your hearing. Thanks to @RNID for asking me to contribute 💚 Take their “What’s Your Listener Style?” Quiz. It helps you discover your listening style and provides tailored advice to help protect your hearing and keep enjoying music for years to come.

“I’ve been unintentionally left out of conversation because I feel like those who have normal hearing don’t quite understand the extent of how it can make you feel isolated. What I love about the RNID Christmas Dinner Game is that it’s fun for the whole family, while also helping to make sure no-one feels left out.” Order your Christmas Dinner Game today and include everyone this festive season. 🎄 ✨ by @rnid_uk
How it feels walking into a restaurant and it has good lighting… #Deaf #HearingLoss #DeafAwareness #Traitors by @rnid_uk
Kori was left on the train on her own when no visual announcements were available after the train broke down. If British Sign Language (BSL) announcements were in place, she'd feel less anxious when travelling. Simple changes can be made to make travelling on public transport more accessible for people who are deaf or have hearing loss. by @rnid_uk
Communication support can make the difference between struggling at work and thriving in a career. Earlier this year, our report highlighted serious issues with Access to Work, with many deaf people and people with hearing loss telling us that restrictions and reductions were affecting the support they rely on. We'll soon be launching a new survey to understand whether things have improved since then. Follow our channels and look out for ways to share your experience. by @rnid_uk

Hearing loss and dementia are two different conditions that become more common as we get older. David is a 74-year-old retiree from Nottinghamshire, who has been diagnosed with mixed dementia and hearing loss. Research has identified an association between hearing loss and dementia and RNID’s ongoing research aims to understand the nature of that relationship. by @rnid_uk
