Geoff Brown

I became profoundly deaf at the age of 17 as a result of meningitis. I received one of the early single-channel cochlear implants in 1988, which was also the year I joined NADP. A more up-to-date 24-channel implant was installed in 1996 and this is giving increasingly useful service.

I served on the Executive Committee as Membership Secretary for some years before resigning to attend to other activities. I rejoined the EC in 2004 and currently act as NADP's webmaster with some responsibility for membership and recruitment.

I represent NADP on TAG and I am one of TAG's representatives on UKCoD. I am also past-Chairman of Deafness Support Network in Cheshire.

I worked as a research chemist for a leading chemical company before taking early retirement in 1982 and then I spent the next 20 years running my own bookbinding business. I have now sold this on and have really retired. For the last thirty years I have been a lay preacher in the Methodist Church.
