Sensory Impairments

Visual Impairments

If you are having problems with your sight you should first contact your GP or optician. A sight test is not just an eye examination – it's a vital health check. Early detection can mean some of the most common causes of blindness can be prevented or treated.  

If you would like to arrange an assessment or to get in touch with the Sensory Impairment team, please first contact our call centre, by phone or email.  

Hearing Impairments

Hearing loss can happen to anyone at any age. It may happen gradually so you might not realise difficulties with your hearing at first.  

If you think you are having problems, you should visit your doctor and ask for a hearing check.  

If you're not sure, you can run a basic check now:  

RNID – online and telephone hearing check
