We can arrange a variety of support services for you if you have difficulty hearing.
The services available include:

As with other services that we offer to help people live more independently, these are only available following an assessment of your needs. Please contact us on 0113 243 8328 (voice and minicom) or call into your local onestop centre for specialist advice.
