With one in 6 people living with some level of hearing loss the chances are that we all know someone who is living with deafness.

​

Deafness is one of the most misunderstood conditions within our society and as a result what many people don’t understand about deafness, is just how truly isolating it can be.

​

Most will assume it is simply about not being able to hear, but in fact deafness is about the daily struggles a person has with communication and the heart-breaking effect that it can have on a person’s mental and physical wellbeing.

​

“For me, it’s like living in a cloud that keeps the sound out. It’s isolating and frightening.”

GDA provides a range of practical and emotional support that aim to enable a person to live confidently with their deafness.

​

No-ones deserves to live in a world of loneliness and isolation, but with your help, together we can ensure that no deaf, hard of hearing or deafened child, young person or adult does.
