Hearing Services Co-Ordinators
Do you live in Rotherham and wear hearing aids but still have difficulty with everyday tasks?
Our two Hearing Services Co-ordinators, Amy and Sarah, offer free assessment visits for equipment that can help you manage your hearing loss. You can refer yourself to our service by giving us a call, coming into our office or via email.
They are also both proficient BSL users for our Deaf clients.
Helpful Equipment:
Flash and Chime Doorbells
If you struggle to hear your doorbell, a flash and chime system can let you know someone is at the door with both sound and light.
Amplified Telephones
Is your current landline not loud enough? Our assessments can include setting up a landline phone that can amplify sound up to
60 decibels.
Shake and Wake Alarm Clocks
If you can no longer hear your alarm, we can provide an alarm clock with a vibrating pillow shaker to help wake you up.
TV Loop Systems
Do you have hearing aids that are “loop enabled” and struggle to hear the TV? We can check if your hearing aids are compatible with a TV loop system, which allows you to hear the sound directly through your hearing aids instead of the TV’s speakers.
Personal Listeners
If you have trouble with face-to-face conversations, you may be eligible for a personal listening device with a microphone to help you hear more clearly.
Referrals to South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue
If you are concerned about not hearing a fire alarm at night when you’ve taken your hearing aids out, we can refer you to the South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue service. They can check your alarms and may provide a flashing beacon and a vibrating pillow pad to alert you in case of a fire.
