Make the most of your eyes and ears As part of Lipreading Aware-ness week the See Hear Cen-tre is launching new Lip read-ing classes, which will take place in Bideford and South Molton starting from Monday
12th October. 1 in 6 people in the UK have some form of hear-ing loss. That’s over 10 million people. The single biggest barrier facing people with a hearing loss is difficulty with communication and understand-ing what is being said, leading to a loss of inde-pendence, withdrawal from society, loneliness and isolation. Jan Marshall, the lipreading tutor, said “this is not just about learning the skills to lipread it’s also about meeting and sharing ex-periences in an environment where everybody understands how your hearing loss affects your everyday life”. The See Hear Centre’s new classes complement their existing Hearing Loss Support Groups, and its equipment demonstra-tions and ‘try before you buy’ loan scheme which is available at its centre in Barnstaple and on its mobile service, See Hear on Wheels—for local dates see the Dairy on the centre pages here. Many people don’t know the best way to look after their eyes. They tend to think that a sight test is just about checking whether their vision needs correcting with glasses or contact lenses, but it is also a vital check on the health of their eyes and includes the detection of eye condi-tions. Many of these, if found early, can be treated successfully, avoiding potential sight loss. The See Hear Centre in Barnstaple - which is open on Tuesdays 9am - 5pm and by appoint-ment on other days - provides information, equip-ment demonstrations, short-term loans and one-to-one support, helping people to cope better with their sight loss. For more information and to book a place on the classes contact the See Hear Centre: telephone on 01271 373236; text 07831 515809: email [email protected]; visit the website: www.livingoptions.org.uk
