As someone who has been deaf since the age of 2 years (through measles) I am well adapted to hearing loss and have tried to encourage others with recent loss to make the most of aids and adaptations which can improve their well being. If there is poor attendance at this course it will need to close. Please inform your friends and relatives.
Kings College Hospital Audiology dept used to do all my testing and hearing aid supplies but some years ago opted out this service and I am now under 'In Health' and attending the audiology clinic in Chadwick Road. I have to have a GP letter re referring me to In Health every 3 years before I can be retested and usually get an appointment within a month. Last time my aid broke down, I was given an appointment within 3 days as I was prepared to go to an emergency clinic in Streatham on a Sunday.

hi all, I was invited onto this trial as I was already under the audiology care of the Guys who are leaders in the field. I think they are also looking at tinnitus sufferers. They were interested in more people for the trial.

I have been on it for about six months. I have state of the art hearing aids, with inner ear mics and with mobile phone control. The mobile phone also feeds back info to the trial, and you undergo tests using the phone- memory tests, identifying words with background static going on etc.

You get to keep the hearing aids, but the department wont replace them If lost or outlive their life.


The trial is called EVOTION Project


Adult Audiology Centre


3rd Floor, Southwark Wing


Guy?s Hospital


Great Maze Pond


London SE1 9RT




Main switchboard: 020 7188 7188

but pm me for the email address.

I went to the meeting today - was a very useful start. I think it would have been particularly useful before I started with Hearing aids, or if my Dr was trying to persuade me not to go for a test (one did a few years back).


I am also on the Guy's trial. The benefit I see in the phone is you adjust the volume on each side separately. Useful for me in singing situations where I want to hear more or less of another part. I am happy to share my experience, either at the group or via PM.


Edited to add some detail.

Just been informed that there is a speaker on Monday 28th as follows:-


'We have a speaker from ?Hearing Care? to talk specifically about managing, maintenance and adapting your hearing aids use to various situations '


What I forgot to mention is that the group is for those of 50 plus.

    • This leaflet has the tone of a social media post emanating from Mar-a-Largo at 2am. The Lib Dems adopting the vernacular of the far right. Truly shameful.  What constitutes a RADICAL MARXIST? Is that distinct from a moderate marxist (lower case)? Cultural Marxist is used in right-wing circles as code to disparage Jews. So, exactly what is a RADICAL MARXIST, Lib Dems? Perhaps James Barber could pop like a low-rent (but equally annoying) Microsoft paperclip to explain: “Hi, looks like you’re thinking of voting for a Marxist…”
    • lol! The Greens have picked up a bunch of support into the last few months precisely because they have gone much further to the left. If you wanted a leaflet that made disaffected Labour voters aware that there was a leftist alternative to Labour in Dulwich, and to reassure mainstream Labour voters feel like the Corbynite fringe was fucking off at long last, then this is what it would look like.  Meanwhile the Lib Dems' solution to SEND and social care funding crises, a failure to build any private or social housing, climate change and all the rest is..."community wardens". 🤣 They really seem to be out of tune with the state of the country at the moment: it's crazy that they could have observed the comms failure of Starmer's incremental managerialism and thought to themselves, "you know what people want? More of that attitude, but with even less impact".
    • Ollie's is another restaurant concept from the same people that do the Megan's chain. It was pretty mercilessly mocked on a thread somewhere on here. The Megan's branch on Lordship Lane closed not that long after it opened for a rebirth as an Ollie's, but it didnt seem to have happened last time I noticed. The Crown & Greyhound is closed until Thu 19 March for renovations (and staff training, hopefully...). The Romeo Jones booze and entertainment licence application closes for comments sometime this week. Simba Dulwich Ltd is the applicant. https://southlondon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/london-borough-of-southwark-simba-dulwich-ltd-premises-licence-1.pdf  
    • I don't know whose idea in the Lib Dems it was to put round a flyer saying that James' radical Marxist (in red caps) views are "at odds with East Dulwich and Goose Green residents", plus a load of ridiculous alarmist b******s. They may like to know that putting this round has had the opposite effect on me to that presumably intended. In local elections I usually vote for individuals who I think will do a good job  rather than  voting for particular parties, but as far as I am concerned the Lib Dems have shot themselves in the foot with the contents of this flyer, because I shan't be voting for any of them.
