Annette backs the RNID for a healthy hearing future10.38.00am BST (GMT +0100) Tue 29th Sep 2009
Mid Dorset & North Poole MP, Annette Brooke has joined RNID's call for people to value their hearing and take the charity's specially developed hearing check. Annette Brooke recently took RNID's five-minute hearing check, which assesses your ability to hear someone speaking with background noise - similar to being in a crowded room - and helps identify whether you have a hearing loss. Annette Brooke MP says: "Many people don't realise how important their hearing is in their everyday lives, until they start to lose it. I'm lending my voice to RNID's Hearing Matters campaign, which is encouraging you to look after your hearing by visiting www.rnid.org.uk/hearingmatters or dialling 0844 800 3838 and take immediate action to avoid experiencing unnecessary isolation from friends, family and colleagues." RNID's Chief Executive, Jackie Ballard, says: "On average, people take 15 years to deal with their hearing loss and, in that time, a person's quality of life can be greatly reduced. We urge people in Mid Dorset and Poole to follow Annette Brooke MP's example and take our check today, so that you can start addressing any hearing loss and ensure you don't miss out on leading a fulfilling and active life."
