If she or anyone else you know has a hearing loss, order a FREE catalogue full of hundreds of helpful products.
The odds are that your hearing is fine, but you may know someone else that struggles to hear on the phone, or cranks the TV up to full blast. You may find it frustrating at times, particularly if they won’t admit it. Hearing aids are great, but they’re not the whole story and there are lots of other products available. Some help you hear more clearly with your hearing aid, while others can provide assistance in situations where hearing aids are less effective, such as listening in crowded areas, or at a distance.
Order a FREE catalogue from RNID Products and you’ll find hundreds of clever products that will help change the life of your friend or relative. RNID Products are the retail arm of the UK’s largest charity that represents people who are deaf or hard of hearing. Here is a small selection of the life-changing products available.
Hearing comfortably on the phone
If you have a friend or relative that finds it hard to hear on the phone then you’ll both benefit if they use an amplified telephone. There’s a wide range of cordless, corded and mobile phones. They can be up to two or three times louder than a standard phone and they are designed to work effectively with hearing aids. The tone of the caller’s voice can be changed too. For example, if your mother finds high pitched noises harder to hear then she can make a caller’s voice deeper to suit her hearing loss.
Hearing the TV without turning up to full volume
One of the first signs of hearing loss is the volume people set the TV at. If you know someone that has it blaring out then you’ll be delighted to know that there are lots of products that allow the person who is hard of hearing to listen at a level that suits them, while the rest of the room can hear at a normal level.
Join in conversations, even in noisy environments
When someone is hard of hearing they can feel isolated and left out of conversations and you may find you have to keep repeating yourself or shouting so they can hear you. Personal amplifiers are small, hand-held devices that help the user hear more clearly in noisy environments, whether they have a hearing aid or not. They help reduce background noise and allow the listener to focus on the sound they actually want to hear. This helps the conversation flow and everyone involved benefits enormously.
There are many other specialist products available including doorbells, smoke alarms, alarm clocks, watches, textphones, pagers, loops, hearing aid accessories and products to relieve tinnitus.
28-day money-back guarantee
Since you probably haven’t heard of many of these products you may be unsure how useful they will be. Don’t worry, most items can be returned within 28 days and a recent survey showed 82% of people rated products four or five out of five.
Life changing products in action:
Diane Phipps (Staffordshire)
“Good value and the fact that it was given my mum as a means of communication with her friends and relatives again makes it priceless. She has ‘come alive’ again and is so pleased with the Mybelle 650.
Thank you.”
VR Podbury (Amersham)
“We would be lost without your products. It makes a big difference at a reasonable price.”
Jayne Kingston (Menstrie)
“My grandmother can now watch the TV (with the RNID loop) without disturbing the neighbours. Easy to install - only 15 minutes.”
Mrs Cathcart (Taunton)
“It has made it possible to telephone others and to hear and understand their speech. A great help to me. I can now talk to friends - particularly as I live on my own.”
Eric Sykes – comedian, actor and author
“Ignoring a potential hearing loss can have far-reaching effects on people’s everyday lives, from not being able to hear your children’s laughter to feeling isolated and cut off from friends and family. I should know, I have a hearing loss myself.”
