IMPACT ON ACCESS TO SERVICES & MOBILITY AIDS The IMPACT survey shows that 56% of the respondents in the EU5 and Nordic countries experience challenges with accessing aids and services they need to manage their OI. 👩🦽The questions included access to mobility aids, hearing aids, home modifications of home and cars, personal assistance, hearing aids and dental care. ⁉️ People from many countries have problems accessing hearing aids. People in Spain struggle to get dental care and people in UK struggle to get adapted wheelchairs. The concrete access challenges varied from resources not available, lack of information to lack of affordability. #impactsurveyoi #osteogenesisimperfecta #acessibility #MobilityAids #hearingaids #caradaptations #PersonalAssistant #dentalcare #challenges #RareDiseaseDay #equity

This really rings true with me. How often do we forget to look at the bigger picture for our patients? How often do we focus on one area of their life without considering the other? Patient centred care is so important. Hearing loss is such an emotive subject, it affects all aspects of someone’s life, with large onus on relationships and communication. There are lots of factors to consider when prescribing hearing aids, especially during their rehabilitation journey - which is never ending, support and needs change as the patient grows and their life style changes. Patients are people, not just numbers. #patientcare #patientcenteredcare #audiology

📚A recent study published in the Lancet has found that untreated hearing loss is connected to increases in visits to the emergency room, hospitalization, long-term care placement, and adverse drug events 🏥. This may be due to communication difficulties between the patients with hearing loss and their healthcare providers.🩺🥼  👂Knowing if you have hearing loss is the first step to reducing these risks.

🌟 Deafblind Awareness Week 🌟 This week, #AccessCare is in full support of the wonderful Deafblind UK spreading awareness about being deafblind and shining a spotlight on the resilience, strength, and inspiring stories of the deafblind community. 🌍 Here are some facts about being deafblind... 💚Deafblindness affects over 450,000 people in the UK. 💚 It doesn’t always mean no sight or hearing, although for some people this is the case. 💚 Deafblindness can result from a variety of causes, including congenital conditions like Usher syndrome, which affects both hearing and vision or acquired conditions such as meningitis or age-related degeneration. 💚 Red and white striped canes signal the person is deafblind. 💚 Most importantly, being deafblind does not define a person. It is part of who they are, not who they are. Our experienced #liveincarer are trained to understand and address the unique needs of those living with dual sensory loss.

As the election approaches, we want the next Government to pay attention to the four key policy asks that we’re campaigning for. The second of these is ensuring that our communities have access to high quality NHS audiology services and hearing aids. We want the Government to prioritise hearing health to ensure that waiting lists are reduced and more people can benefit from the use of hearing aids. RNID’s Audiology Manager, Franki Oliver, wants the Government to prioritise hearing health to ensure that waiting lists are reduced so more people can benefit from the use of hearing aids: https://bit.ly/3xoF9QN
