I would recommend getting help because I'm not sure how easy it will be to establish entitlement to AA for hearing loss. You could contact Action on Hearing Loss and see if there is any local support available - we have a Centre for the Deaf in our city, for example.
Also, have you had your hearing and your aids checked recently? Is it possible adjustments would help - have you had your tubes changed within the last year, for example?Signature removed for peace of mind0 -
Age UK can also be a big help when claiming AA0
