Clinics - Drop-ins
Dumfries and Galloway Hard of Hearing Group run free, monthly clinics throughout the region. Please check website for details
Our fully trained volunteers can offer help and support with the following:

Care Home Service
We offer care homes a free comprehensive service to enable their staff to give better support to their residents who have a hearing loss.
We currently work with 21 care homes throughout the region, but we aim to increase this number over the next year.

Home Visiting Service
If you or someone you know is housebound and unable to access any of our regular clinics then we can organise for one of our volunteers to make a home visit.
Our trained volunteers can visit you to:
maintain your NHS hearing aid
give you any advice and support regarding your hearing loss
make any necessary referrals to audiology, the sensory support team, the fire service and other external agencies if required
If you feel that you may benefit from a home visit, or would like to refer a friend, relative or service user, please fill in the form and a member of staff will get back to you.
