A new hearing clinic will be hosted at Cavell Court care home in Cringleford for the first time on Monday 7th December in partnership with by the Norfolk Deaf Association (NDA). 

From 10am-12pm, members of the local community are invited to drop in to the care home on Dragonfly Lane and make the most of the help on offer. 

The NDA will be providing hearing aid maintenance, advice on assistive listening devices and communication methods, and support on hearing loss and other related conditions. 

The clinic will be held on the first Monday of each month and at the first clinic of each quarter, a specialist in assistive technology will also be on hand to discuss the latest gadgets to help those living with hearing loss. 

Speaking about the hearing clinic, home manager at Cavell Court, Anita O’Neill said: “With more than 11 million people in the UK currently suffering from hearing loss and with this number expected to rise to 15.6 million* by 2035, there is a real need to provide easy access to professional advice and information about hearing loss. 

“We believe it is important to establish a much-needed place in Cringleford where people who are living with hearing loss or impairment can meet and feel supported. We are looking forward to establishing this clinic as a friendly and welcoming forum where the local community can drop in on a regular basis, or just attend as and when they feel the need to.”

Visitors to the clinic are also welcome to visit the home’s coffee shop either while waiting to be seen or simply to relax, while catching up with friends over a leisurely cuppa and a slice of cake.
