Hearing loss should not prevent anyone from getting out and about. Fortunately access for people with a hearing loss is steadily improving and they are ways of managing tricky situations as you will find out at our annual conference.
Travelling, attending talks or enjoying the theatre is now much more accessible and stress free than before.
We have a range of presenters from different organisations to inform what they are doing to improve the experience of deaf, deafened and hard of hearing people using their services including British Airways, the National Theatre and the Victoria and Albert Museum.
We will be joined by award winning blogger deafieblogger who will be talking about her #subtitledcinema campaign to increase subtitle showings at the cinema.
Ed Rex of https://rexyedventures.com/ aka thedeaftraveller will also be sharing his experiences travelling in the UK and the work he has been involved into improve accessibility for deaf people.
There will also be information on how events such as the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and Museum talks can now accommodate deafened people through the use of technology.
Stagetext will be presenting on their latest news about captioned shows, talks and digital.
Both the morning and afternoon sessions will include panel discussions with an opportunity to ask questions and share experiences.
As usual there will be a range of stalls available for attendees to gather more information to help with your hearing loss and ask questions, and plenty of time to meet other deaf people.

Working Better with your Hearing
FMaximizing your potential as a deafened person - Utilising Audiology Services and Improving your employment opportunities
The Conference this year intends to address two key themes
captured by NHS England and DWP in their joint "What works" publications, Audiology and Employment.
The
conference will be opened by Lilian Greenwood MP. Speakers include Prof David Welbourn (CEO BSHAA), Jane Cordell (www.gettingequal.com), Dr Sue Archbold, Lisa Baldock MBE, Mohammed
Butt (Oticon).
The morning session will cover the Person Centred Approach advocated by NHS England’s Action Plan on Hearing Loss, looking from the perspective of audiology, the
hearing aid manufacturer and the Cochlear Implant program. It will also include a presentation of the preliminary results of NADPs Audiology Survey.
Our speakers will cover changes in audiology and support services, social services and compare services
offered in Cochlear Implant and Hearing Aid departments. It will also include the results of NADPs Audiology Survey and strategies to improve communication from a hearing coach. There will be a panel
discussion with an opportunity for the audience to ask questions and share their views.
The afternoon session will look at the changing employment market for deaf people based on DWP
publication What Works: Employment. We look at strategies being put in place to assist deafened people in employment and those seeking new opportunities including the
development of the disability passport in the civil service.
Both morning and afternoon sessions will conclude with a panel discussion.
