0 RNID hearing test could help your life

KEVIN Brennan MP is encouraging people in Cardiff West, who fear they may have hearing problems, to take the RNID'S specially developed hearing check.

At the Labour Party conference in Brighton, Kevin Brennan took RNID's five-minute hearing check, which assesses your ability to hear someone speaking with background noise and helps identify whether you have hearing loss.

"Many people don’t realise how important their hearing is in their everyday lives, until they start to lose it," said Kevin.

"I'm lending my voice to RNID Cymru’s Hearing Matters campaign, which is encouraging you to look after your hearing by visiting www.rnid.org.uk/check or dialling 0844 800 3838 and take immediate action to avoid experiencing unnecessary isolation from friends, family and colleagues."

Director of RNID Cymru, Richard Williams, added, "On average, people take 15 years to deal with their hearing loss and, in that time, a person's quality of life can be greatly reduced.

"We urge people in Cardiff to follow Kevin Brennan's example and take RNID’s check today, so that you can start addressing any hearing loss and ensure you don’t miss out on leading a fulfilling and active life."
