What's in a name?
  A short survey about how you refer to your hearing loss.

There are many ways to describe hearing loss, and many different opinions about which words and phrases are suitable and appropriate and which are not. As an organisation seeking to represent your views and opinions, Hearing Concern LINK wants to know what you think. We would be very grateful if you could take 10 -15 minutes to complete this survey.

We shall provide a report in the next issue of our feature magazine 'Hearing Matters' - look out for it at the end of November.

For information about our services and activities please email us info@hearingconcernlink.org or go to our website www.hearingconcernlink.org
