Description
Formerly UK Veterans Hearing Help, the UK Veterans Hearing Foundation is now a registered charity helping Veterans who have hearing loss as a result of military service. Our outreach has grown considerably. Using independent reputable Audiologists throughout the UK we give each individual a better way of life by providing top of the range hearing devices at no cost.
Any surplus is invested in mental health care for Veterans through partners like Combat Stress and Woody’s Lodge. We support those with tinnitus with mindfulness training, alongside the Hearing Coach, and work with charities caring for those with PTSD. This helps to reduce the additional pressure from hearing loss and the associated mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, stress, loneliness and social avoidance.
We attend Drop-Ins and offer advice on hearing loss throughout the UK, giving presentations and providing literature and contact information. Our aim is to help Veterans overcome their hearing difficulties so they can excel in their new career and forge ahead with civilian life
We support the following Drop-Ins:
If you would like an adviser to support your Drop-In, contact us and we will discuss how best we can help.
Drop-Ins we are currently in touch with include Woody’s Lodge (Barry and Colwyn Bay) and Veterans Support Group (Abbots Langley)
