Special Needs
Royal National Institute for Deaf People
RNID is the largest charity representing the 8.7 million deaf and hard of hearing people in the UK. Our vision is a world where deafness and hearing loss are not barriers to opportunity and fulfillment.
Whether you have queries about RNID or you want details on tinnitus, hearing aids, lipreading, telephone amplifiers or sign language classes, RNID can give you all the information. Available on-line are a searchable Directory of Services, detailing over 8,000 organisations that provide services for deaf and hard of hearing people, as well as a comprehensive, searchable database of equipment, from induction loops to flashing smoke alarms.
The RNID Information Line offers free confidential and impartial information on a range of subjects including employment, equipment, legislation, benefits and many issues relating to deafness and hearing loss. We have trained Information Officers who respond to the requests that come in via telephone (both voice and textphone), e-mail, letters and fax. We do occasionally see people face to face.
