We've developed a range of support services to meet the needs of local people who are deaf, have a hearing loss or tinnitus.
You can book communication support, get help with your hearing aid, or find information on tinnitus.
We have a large team of experienced and understanding staff and volunteers who are skilled in working with people who are deaf, have a hearing loss or tinnitus at a range of locations across Northern Ireland.
