About the organisation:

For a deaf person in a hearing world, every day is a challenge. We are RNID: the national charity supporting more than 18 million people in the UK who are deaf, have hearing loss or tinnitus. We campaign to change public attitudes and help people hear better now. We fund groundbreaking biomedical research that will stop hearing loss and silence tinnitus. And we provide practical support and information over the phone, online and in local communities.

Full Details:

As a volunteer, you will be carrying out two main activities to help us make life fully inclusive for deaf people and people with hearing loss and tinnitus.
1. Presenting and giving information
You will be giving in-person presentations and talks in the local community to share information with groups and organisations. Through these presentations we aim to:
– Raise awareness of deafness, hearing loss and tinnitus and the services and
support available
– Give information on RNID, our activities, and how people can support us

2. Helping people check their hearing
You will be visiting groups in their communities to help people take the RNID online hearing check, taking people through the steps in person using a laptop or tablet provided by the group.
Supporting someone to take the online hearing check usually takes 10-15 minutes and will suggest if the person’s hearing is in normal range or they may have hearing loss.
