I’m on a RNID mailing list through my work. Today I received this as part of the mail shot and thought some of you guys might be interested.



We've launched a brand new hearing check - one you can use online. You probably already know about our telephone hearing check, now hosted by Barbara Windsor, which allows you to check your hearing on the phone in just a few minutes by dialling 0844 800 3838 (calls from a BT landline cost up to 5p per minute. Other providers' charges may vary. Call set up charge may apply).

Now, a visit to RNID's new online hearing check (http://www.rnid.org.uk/howwehelp/hearing_check?from=/hearingmatters/ (http://www.rnid.org.uk/howwehelp/hearing_check?from=/hearingmatters/)) will allow you to do the same check without picking up the phone.

As well as encouraging people to check their hearing, we are campaigning for the Government to introduce a hearing screening programme for people over 55. One of the reasons for this is to improve the diagnosis of hearing loss and help people address a hearing loss more quickly.


Take the online hearing check now http://www.rnid.org.uk/howwehelp/hearing_check/take_online_hearing_check/ (http://www.rnid.org.uk/howwehelp/hearing_check/take_online_hearing_check/)

As I suspected my hearing may be below normal. :grr:

Thanks for this BTW I have been telling my hubby for years that he is deaf, this may help me prove it.

I thought it was a joke site but clicked on it anyway.

I'm sure there's a joke sight test one.

My hearing is normal :greengrin

Thanx for the info.

Just taken the test and my hearing is within the normal range which is surprising as I often struggle to hear people speaking.

He's probably doing been the man thing by not responding - you'll only give him an excuse if you tell him it's his hearing :greengrin

Ocht I am used to that - I have been married to the begger for nigh on 20 years. Its the volume on the telly that drives me mad! He has recently lost the ability to watch the telly and grunt a vague response at me at the same time. I dont think he hears my dainty little voice anymore.

I am slightly deaf in one ear. (Bloody ships engine rooms.:grr:) I just haven't told my wife which one it is. (She has however narrowed it down to the one closest to her at any given time.:greengrin)
