Overcoming the challenges of hearing loss in the Shrewsbury community

Hearing loss can lead to feelings of isolation and frustration, especially in social settings. On Tuesday, 16 June, the See Hear Remember exhibition at Theatre Severn in Shrewsbury provides a dedicated space for people to explore hearing support. This event is a collaboration between Community Resource, Sight Loss Shropshire, and Radfield Home Care.

Specialist hearing support at Theatre Severn

The Walker Theatre will host stalls focused on hearing health. Experts will be on hand to discuss the latest technology and support services.

• Community Resource: An organiser of the event; they manage projects that help people stay connected. Their sensory support teams provide advice on hearing aids and communication techniques.
• Specsavers: Provides hearing tests and advice on the latest digital hearing aids and assistive listening devices.
• Shropshire Fire and Rescue: Offers specialized smoke alarms for people with hearing loss. These include vibrating pads and strobe lights to ensure safety at home.
• Healthwatch Shropshire: An independent body that listens to people’s experiences of audiology and other health services to help improve local care.

The role of care in managing hearing loss

At Radfield Home Care, we understand that effective communication is the foundation of good care. Our care professionals are trained to communicate clearly with people who have hearing impairments. This involves simple adjustments such as facing the person when speaking and ensuring hearing aids are clean and functioning correctly.

We help clients remain active in their social lives. By assisting with transport to local groups or helping people use technology to stay in touch with family, we reduce the risk of isolation. Our support is about more than just physical tasks; it is about ensuring every individual feels heard and understood.
