Listening aid equipment for Deaf and Hard of Hearing people
We provide an equipment service for Deaf and Hard of Hearing people living in Bristol, which is funded by Bristol City Council. We have a range of listening aid equipment, which can help keep you independent and more connected at home. This includes items such as amplified or flashing doorbells, amplified telephones and TV listening devices. Depending on eligibility*, some products are free of charge and others are available to buy.
