The Campaign for Better Hearing is a global initiative, but united by a single cause: to help the world hear better. Hearing loss can lead to isolation, loneliness and even depression. That’s why, through our Give Back Programme, for every 1,000 hearing tests we do, we award a pair of state-of-the-art hearing aids to someone who might not be able to afford them otherwise.

| I’m supporting the National Campaign for Better Hearing, supported by Hidden Hearing. The World Health Organisation wants us to recognise the importance of early detection and treatment of hearing loss and prevent it from limiting our lives. I wonder how many of you know just how common hearing loss is. Well in the UK today, it affects 12 million people. More than 40% of the population over 50 suffers from some degree of hearing loss and that proportion grows as we get older. You wouldn’t live would you, without glasses if you couldn’t see properly, so why would wearing a hearing aid be any different? Why not commit to having your hearing tested annually. I do, and I also encourage friends and family to do the same as well. So come, join in; test your ears at 55 years. |

If you have noticed a change in your own hearing, then now is the ideal time to do something about it. Make sure that you don't miss out and take an online test today.
Hidden Hearing is supporting this campaign, through the Give Back Programme. We are changing lives by providing a free, top-of-the-range pair of private hearing aids to people in the UK who may not be able to afford them.
It’s simple. For every 1,000 tests we do, we give back a free pair of hearing aids. The test doesn’t need to be for you either, just nominate a friend or family member who you think will benefit from having their hearing checked.
Maybe a loved one or someone you know struggles to keep up with conversations, avoids talking on the phone, seems distant in noisy environments or has the TV too loud.
You can book a test for you or them, and have the opportunity to be nominated for the Give Back Programme which changes lives for the better. Please ask your local Hidden Hearing team if you’d like to be nominated for the programme.
Give Back Programme recipients become a Campaign for Better Hearing Ambassador, sharing their story and encouraging others to have a hearing test. Here’s what they’ve been saying.
