Deafness, the hidden disability
"Every day is a learning day for me, being with d/Deaf people. They are happy to challenge my knowledge and assumptions and I feel that it is a privilege to learn from them. Whilst I am an "annoying" hearing person, I have a passion for this community and will pursue Hearing Loss Cornwall’s mission to make the world more “Deaf Aware!"
Helen has a wealth of experience from working with organisations, like ours, and is working on improving her BSL skills by the day.
She enjoys meeting with the d/Deaf people and supporting them in accessing services through communication support. Her role is varied but she is usually the "first responder" when people make contact with Hearing Loss Cornwall.
" I am involved with several organisations, but the time I spend helping Hearing Loss Cornwall has raised my awareness of the disability of deafness and its associated challenges. The statistic of one in five adults in Cornwall living with some form of hearing loss is frightening. Therefore, it is essential that we raise the profile of this disability. ”
