Many businesses, health care services and organisations across Surrey are isolating Disabled people by not including an SMS contact or hearing loop at their establishment. Adding an SMS number and hearing loop enables the one in three adults in the UK who are Deaf, have hearing loss or tinnitus to contact a company and communicate independently.* *Source: https://buff.ly/3BnMQrP [Image description: Pink background with a mobile phone text conversation. The text conversation says - Person one: The pharmacy doesn’t have a hearing loop, please can you come with me tomorrow? Person two: Of course I can, you okay? Person one: Not really...it’s so frustrating and tiring going to places and not being able to communicate independently. Below the phone is the hashtag #AddHeairngLoops, the Sensory Services by Sight for Surrey logo and The Coalition logo.] #AddASMS #AddHearingLoops #Accessibility #Accessible #DisabilityAwareness #DeafAwareness

In the EU, 34.4 million adults currently live with disabling #HearingLoss, and two out of three do not have access to adequate hearing care. As the population ages, these numbers are set to increase. Hearing loss not only affects communication but also has far-reaching impacts on mental health and overall quality of life. Prioritizing hearing loss in health policy agendas will enable children and adults to receive early intervention, support treatment, and ensure the long-term sustainability of the EU's healthcare systems and society at large. hearX proudly supports the companies, healthcare providers, and regulators actively driving change to ensure access to hearing healthcare.
