The Sensory Impairment Service works with people who are:

• Hard of hearing
• Deaf with speech
• Deaf without speech
• Severely sight impaired/blind
• Sight impaired/partially sighted
• With a dual sensory impairment or are deaf blind

A duty officer is available from 8:45am to 5pm Monday to Thursday, and 8:45am to 4pm on Friday to assist people who telephone, fax or textphone the service.

You have a right to choose to be registered as:

• Hard of hearing, deaf with speech, deaf without speech
• Severely sight impaired/blind, sight impaired/partially sighted following your hospital eye consultant completing a certificate of visual impairment

We can offer you an assessment to help you maintain your independence in your own home. We have drop-in days where you can get advice about equipment, and try equipment out before committing to buy.
