Understanding sight and hearing loss

We can talk you through your diagnosis to help you understand your situation and give you clarity to think about the next steps.

Support with mental health

Sight and hearing loss can be life-changing, and when this happens quickly, you might not be prepared. Our mental health team can help you come to terms with changes to your sight and hearing, and help you to mentally process your diagnosis.

Practical help

When you’re ready, we can give you practical support with things like using accessible tech, communication techniques and help you to meet other people who are in a similar situation to you.

Open Hand Magazine

Open Hand is our free, quarterly magazine containing articles and information that are tailored specifically to people with dual sensory loss.

There are very few publications designed for this specific market and so Open Hand gives its readers valuable information that they may not otherwise have known and reminds readers about Deafblind UK’s support services.
