Help us to improve support for people living with hearing loss
“There’s a constant undertow of anxiety when you live with hearing loss. Every day is a challenge. It affects your confidence, self-esteem, and mental wellbeing. You often have feelings of inadequacy. You feel stupid when you mishear or, worse, don’t hear at all.” – Margot
Margot is one of many people whose wellbeing is impacted by hearing conditions. At Soundfair, we have worked with audiologists, psychologists, and people with lived experience to develop a Hearing Wellbeing Program, that provides guidance and support for the social and emotional challenges related to hearing conditions.
