Been to an optician recently? Probably... Been to a dentist recently? Possibly... Been to have your hearing tested recently?... Probably not!!
Year after year we rely on key senses to get the best out of life with colleagues, friends and loved ones. And we do take good care of most of them: we get glasses, we fix our teeth, we diet and we exercise. But when it comes to our hearing, far too many wait far too long. Did you know that if you suffer from a hearing loss, you are one of 15% of the population that have a degree of hearing loss; that's 1 in 7 people in the East Lancashire area!

The vast majority of these people can be helped by the provision of a hearing aid, yet traditionally more than half choose not to wear them. Reasons commonly given are that the Aids are too big and bulky, that they whistle, and that they amplify too much background sound. However, things have changed dramatically since the introduction of Digital Technology. Getting your hearing evaluated is just as easy as going to the optician or the dentist and it's completely free of charge!
Modern Digital Hearing Aids are effectively minicomputers within the ear that analyze sound, control volume automatically, reduce unwanted noise or feedback and deliver better speech understanding in noise. Many Hearing Aids are now so small, that they are virtually invisible when in use as they fit deep into the ear canal, so people no longer have to be self-conscious about wearing them.

Supper was provided by the Cafe in Waddington, and an auction run by John Ather ton added to the funds.
