RNID, the charity for deaf and hard of hearing people, is asking people to take a telephone hearing check.



The hearing check is part of RNID's 'Breaking the Sound Barrier' campaign, aimed at the 4 million people in the UK who could benefit from wearing a hearing aid, but currently do nothing about it.



RNID is offering a 5 minute telephone hearing check on 0845 600 55 55. The charity is hoping this will be the first step for many people in realising they may have a hearing loss.



Calls to take the hearing check are charged at a local rate and cost a maximum of 3p per minute for a call from a BT landline. The hearing check itself is free.



For more information on the causes of hearing loss and what can be done about it, visit the RNID website www.breakingthesoundbarrier.org.uk.




Don't know where all the 3p per minute goes :confused: , I hope it goes to the charity :beer:

Thanks to OP, have also done the test and also normal - Lady G always says that I'm deaf ( better not tell her the result)! Only checks one ear so need 2 calls to test both!
