Hearing loops
A hearing loop is an assistive listening system that helps make public premises welcoming to people with hearing loss.
They transmit audio directly to users’ hearing aids or cochlear implants, cutting out background noise and making speech and music clear. They also ensure that companies or organisations are being compliant with equality legislation.
Together with our partners we have all you need to ensure your venue is accessible.

Deaf Awareness Seminar
I organised a Deaf Awareness Seminar via Zoom with RNID for my workplace. The session was 1hr long and incredibly informative and educational.
The booking team at RNID were extremely responsive and helpful. Especially when I had to reschedule the session pretty urgently. Beejal on the team was excellent at communicating and helped me book a new date with no stress or worry. Thank you!
I also want to express a huge thank you to Kevin who hosted the Seminar, he was an excellent speaker and provided a fun and engaging session that I have received so much positive feedback about. I would highly recommend this seminar to all organisations! We have taken so much away from it and will continue to use the information learned in the workplace and certainly in my everyday life.

An introduction to BSL
I took part in a taster experience 'An introduction to British Sign Language'. I have wanted to start learning BSL for a while and this was a perfect way to get going. The trainer was very enjoyable, made the whole experience fun and straightforward. I will definitely be using this companies services further.

I have just participated in an Introduction to BSL course which was fantastic.
The tutor Andrew was brilliant. He made the class fun and was very good at helping the class sign in the correct way.
The course covered all the basic words and phrases that I felt as a beginner would be useful to me.
The detail as to why these signs are used was also really helpful and contributed to a really intuitive learning experience for me.
I will be using RNID courses to further my knowledge on BSL again.
