Charity Launches Innovative Free Festive Hearing App
The UK charity Action on Hearing Loss has launched an innovative free hearing check app that can be downloaded from the App Store for the iPhone, iPod Touch and the iPad. The new app is an easy way for families across the country to check their hearing over the festive period. According to the organisation, four million people in the UK live with undiagnosed hearing loss. So don’t worry about your hearing this Christmas and don’t miss out on the seasonal fun, check your hearing now.
It can be lonely at this time of year for people who have a hearing loss, especially if they are struggling alone and do not wear efficient hearing aids. Close family and friends can play a vital role in helping loved ones take the steps to get help. Combat the isolation and encourage relatives to get their hearing examined using the app and start the New Year feeling positive about life.
The app advises Brits who have normal hearing on how to carry on looking after their hearing; and for people who have hearing outside the normal range; a certificate is offered which can be taken to the local GP to get the adequate help needed. The hearing charity also provides lots of useful information.
This isn’t the first time the firm has launched an app for the iPhone, as they released one before the organisation rebranded its name as it was formerly called the Royal National Institute for Deaf People (RNID). It proved extremely successful at Christmas time as the number of hearing checks doubled over the festive period and it was one of the top ten most popular medical apps. Although the hearing app is free, SMS donations are available. Start 2012 with afresh and check your hearing now with the downloadable application.
