Hearing Aid Guide – Impartial Guide Plugs Gap For The Deaf

Omnidirectory, a new guide to technology and contacts for deaf and hard of hearing people, aims to plug an existing gap by providing unbiased information in one place.

This new edition of Omnidirectory, first published last year, now includes a special audiology section, following demand from users.

It now lists paediatric and adult audiology clinics across the UK, arranged in geographical regions. It also details all the manufacturers supplying audiology equipment, comparing the services and products they offer. Omnidirectory covers information on the hearing aid council and how to contact the nearest Registered Hearing Aid Dispenser.

There are also answers to key questions about hearing aids for new users or hearing parents of deaf children.

In a bid to provide the most comprehensive and impartial information available, Omnidirectory also includes:

A products guide – loop systems, listening aids, radio aids, textphones, videophones, vibrating pagers, baby alarms, doorbells and smoke detectors Cochlear implants centres in the UK Useful organisations A contacts section – listing deaf schools, schools with a hearing impaired unit, social services and educational services throughout the UK Professor Adrian Davis, Director of the Newborn Hearing Screening Programme at the MRC Institute for Hearing Research, said:

"In the context of a fast –moving technological world in the field of deafness, Omnidirectory provides a wealth of information to deaf and hard of hearing people. The comprehensive contacts listing, bringing together the details of education, health and social services providers nationwide, is immensely important in the drive to deliver seamless and integrated services to deaf children and adults and their families."

Christina Watson, who produces Omnidirectory, said:

"The amount of products and services being offered to deaf people and their families can often seem overwhelming. Omnidirectory aims to detail all that information in one place to save deaf people, their families and professionals having to track down individual details themselves.

"It is also completely independent as we are providers of information and not salespeople."
