Community volunteers help us share information on deafness, hearing loss and tinnitus.
Community volunteers help us share information on deafness, hearing loss and tinnitus.
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.
