Local MP supports RNID hearing check campaign

Kevin Brennan MP takes RNID's telephone hearing check

Cardiff West MP, Kevin Brennan, has joined RNID Cymru’s call for people to value their hearing and take the charity’s specially developed hearing check.

Kevin Brennan 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.

Kevin Brennan 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 Cymru’s Hearing Matters campaign, which is encouraging you to look after your hearing by visiting www.rnid.org.uk/check or dialling 0844 800 3838 and take immediate action to avoid experiencing unnecessary isolation from friends, family and colleagues.”

Director of RNID Cymru, Richard Williams, 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 Cardiff to follow Kevin Brennan’s example and take RNID’s 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.”
