ACTION on Hearing Loss is inviting people who are deaf or have hearing loss or tinnitus to join the charity’s research panel and help influence its work.

Panellists will have opportunities to complete short surveys, have one-to-one interviews and take part in focus groups.

Evidence gathered will inform the charity's policy, services and campaigning work for a world where hearing loss doesn’t limit or label people, and people value their hearing.

Director of Policy and Campaigns at Action on Hearing Loss, Roger Wicks, says: ‘We’d be grateful if residents from St Helens would get involved in our panel, which offers a great opportunity to help shape our future work supporting people who are deaf, or have hearing loss or tinnitus to live their lives to the full.”

To get involved complete a short questionnaire at www.aohl.org.uk/researchpanel or e-mail panel@hearingloss.org.uk.
