Hearing Loss Talk
/
It was World Health Day at the beginning of the month, and in keeping with this theme we had a representative from The Shepherd Centre, Sam, come to talk to us about the effects of hearing loss and the work that her organisation does with young children. Sam was a great presenter and a lovely warm person and it was good to have her with us. She showed us lots of photos and gave an interesting presentation on hearing loss, the Shepherd Centre and Cochlear. She touched on the effects of ageing, and the links between hearing loss and dementia. We rounded off the presentation with a cuppa and a biscuit, and an opportunity for questions. Thanks to Sam for coming along, and to those residents who came down to hear what she had to say.
