England Break the sound barrier - do a free hearing check

info found @ https://www.adviceguide.org.uk



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 https://www.breakingthesoundbarrier.org.uk.




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