LEARN TO LIPREAD AND MANAGE YOUR HEARING LOSS
Do you have a hearing loss? Are you 昀椀nding it hard to have
a conversation when there’s a lot of background noise?
We can help!
Gabrielle Renée writes:
Our next Lipreading and Managing Your Hearing
Loss course starts at the end of September.
Why not come along for a taster session where
you’ll be assured of a warm welcome and meet
like-minded people who fully understand your
needs?
You’ll learn all sorts of communication skills which
will help keep you in the loop when you’re out and
about or even at home with your family.
You’ll also get the opportunity to discuss common
issues and access lots of useful information.
We have three classes to choose from on
Mondays — two at our community centre in
North Finchley and one on Zoom.
The classes are welcoming, friendly and
supportive — and a lot of fun!
