We provide assessments for deaf and hearing impaired adults to identify any difficulties they may be encountering, such as:
- remaining independent at home
- reducing risk to everyday living at home
- accessing services available in York
If we identify that there is a level of risk to a person’s ability to remain independent at home, we can consider whether certain equipment could help. Following the assessment, you may be offered entry on the deaf or hard of hearing register.
