Feature


I joined the RAF in April 1975, whilst still in the RAF, at Cosford, in 2000; I lost a lot of my hearing and started to be troubled with Tinnitus.


I attended lip reading classes run at the time by the NHS, which helped me to cope with my deafness.


Do you have a hearing loss?


Do you know


someone who has a hearing loss?


Do you need help and support?


I CAN HELP YOU!


After finishing 30 years in the RAF, I decided I would like to become a lip reading teacher. I qualified in 2005, took my first class in September that year and have been helping deafened people, their partners and friends ever since.


I am still losing my hearing and I do have a hearing dog, Harley who helps me. I know the isolation that deafness can cause. I aim to empower a person with hearing loss, so that they can become an active member of society again. Whilst helping themselves and their family to understand the implications.


I am passionate about getting the message out there...
