Communication Technology

Technology can be confusing for us all but as a method of communication to support hearing loss can be extremely helpful.

Rather than make phone calls that you might struggle to hear why not use the internet to find out information?  If you are struggling with technology please contact us and we will see if we can help - if we can't we will find someone who can.

Check out our equipment page to find out details of suppliers that use the latest technology in their products.

We are happy to provide opportunities to learn and practice, at a previous meeting the Shhh group were joined by volunteers from Techy Tea Parties who worked with individuals to provide one to one support.

Freeman Hospital Audiology Department recommend the following Apps for Tinnitus:

  • Starkey Relax – soothing pictures & sounds, sleep timer
  • Oticon Tinnitus Sound App – relief sounds, breathing exercises muscle relaxation, sleep timer
  • Resound relief – nature sounds with gentle music and downloadable relaxation exercises
  • Phonal Tinnitus Balance – sounds and situations

Similarly Action on Hearing Loss recommend a variety of apps that you may find useful and can be found on their website actiononhearinhloss.org.uk

Apps are downloadable from the APP store on your phone or tablet, if you need help to do this please contact Louise by calling 0191 281 2314 or by emailing louise@deaflink.org.uk
