WHAT IS NADP?

NADP supports all those who have suffered hearing loss during their lifetime.
Whether your loss is profound or mild you will have some difficulties in your day to day life. NADP exists to ease your life after your hearing deteriorates.

Sudden or gradual, the onset of profound deafness is a traumatic experience, only those who have endured it can fully realise the sense of loss, the disorientation and the devastation to the person. Without help, the deafened person faces a daunting and sometimes heartbreaking job trying to cope with the changes that deafness has brought to their life.

The National Association of Deafened People was founded as a charity in 1984 by a group of deafened people (see the Information Booklet for a definition of ‘deafened people’) who felt that their needs were only partly catered for by existing organisations. Today, the NADP is recognised as the national representative organisation for deafened people.

The NADP provides information and support for deafened people who have lost all or most of their useful hearing, and for their families and friends, to help enable them to regain their independence and enjoy the best quality of life. The NADP is run by and for deafened people. The Executive Committee consists of volunteers who are themselves deafened people, and therefore can relate personally to the needs of their members.
