Meeting with Hearing Link

Postby Lozzles » 05 Feb 2014, 13:00

I had a really interesting meeting with the chap from Hearing Link.
Salisbury wasn't on the list to 'Loop' at the moment, but now he has met me he wants to help me as much as possible. He will contact the council, the editor of Salisbury Journal (his background is in journalism) who is a friend. The Rotary club already want to help, so things are moving forward.
He said that Holland & Barratt (following my contact with them) are installing a loop and will also be getting their other stores around the country looped hopefully. I'm claiming that success as my own and I don't care who knows it!
So I will contact any local deaf groups and so on to gauge opinion and see if anyone else is interested to work with me at a local level while he has the ear of the council, the NHS and the media. So pleased to be able to do something useful with this pesky hearing loss :D

It will be good to get Hearing Link involved, because they carry so much clout. I would have continued without them, but I'm so pleased I have their backing. It would have been hard for me to get the 'big boys' to listen to the needs of those with hearing loss, so hopefully that side of things will be easier. It's also a way I can accept what has happened to me and turn it into something good.
