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.

    • It's certainly a risky strategy, as well as ticking everyone off, the gazunderer risks losing the property and also their costs incurred during the process e.g. legal & survey. It's hard to mitigate against but I always think that if you're desperate to sell, don't ever convey that  to your estate agent, as that info more than likely gets passed on to potential buyers. You should be doing that regardless of whether gazundering is happening or not, as it will affect the offers you receive...
    • The owner may not be on this forum. Maybe you should let the police know you have it, in case the owner has reported it as stolen? Also, are you sure the owner hadn't just left it there temporarily while going into their house, or putting their bike away or getting it out? What street was it in?
    • For these places to be good they have to be mega efficient: high volume high speed like the one in Camberwell next to Stormbird.  If you can't hit that sort of tipping point you end up having to cut corners and you enter a sort of death spiral.  The one at the south end of Lordship Lane near Joseph's is fairly hopeless.
    • It's my understanding that estate agents are obliged to put forward any offer to the seller made to them by the buyer. The decision to accept us up to the seller.  If you're in a chain and someone in the chain has the brass neck to threaten to pull out at the last minute unless you take their lower offer, you're in a very tricky position and the gazunderer knows that.  It's a really nasty thing to do but a crappy person will do it to save money.  That's why if you can be at the top of a chain by going into rented or some other temporary solution you're in a much stronger position to tell the gazunderer to take a running jump which is very satisfying.
