HI Kent

The Club learnt of the support given to the hearing impaired by HI Kent

President Liz with Maxine Lucas

Our speaker Maxine Lucas, Chief Operating Officer of HI Kent, spoke of the wide ranging services offered by the Charity to those with hearing impairment.

We learnt that one in six people are affected by hearing loss and that hearing loss is the most modifiable factor in age related dementia hence the importance of having hearing tested if you are having any difficulty in hearing.

HI Kent's services include:

  • Assessment and Equipment Service 
  • Assistive equipment demonstration and sale in resource centres/webshop
  • Commercial organisation loop system installation service
  • Information and advice service 
  • Gateway and BSL Gateway advice and information appointments for all people with hearing loss
  • NHS Hearing Aid Maintenance Service
  • Lipreading courses online
  • British Sign Language courses – Signature accredited BSL levels 1 and 2
  • Deaf Awareness Training for organisations
  • Tinnitus Support Groups
  • Social Groups and Walking Groups
  • Technology Support
