In Carmarthenshire there are a range of services available to help people with a sensory impairment keep as much independence and control over their lives as possible.


This leaflet tells you about these services and how to find out more about them.


What is Sensory Impairment?


Sensory impairment is the term used to describe disabilities such as: • Deaf/hearing impaired • Blind/visually impaired • Deafblind (dual sensory impaired)


If you are deaf or hearing impaired you may be experiencing frustrating problems at home.


Perhaps you need to have the television on too loud or perhaps you don’t always hear the telephone or doorbell ring.


You may be finding it difficult hearing what someone is saying on the telephone or there may be some other practical difficulties caused by your hearing problems.
