hilili Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Hi - I volunteer in Kings and was with a patient today who is very sick and has lost her sight. I wondered if anyone has a small radio or talking book ??? I don't know how they work so I'm open to suggestions. The patient is quite religous so she could listen to a religous radio station. Any suggestions welcome. Thanks Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/26990-can-anyone-help/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cedges Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Dulwich library have quite a good selection of audio books which come on a pre recorded player with headphones so you wouldn't need any additional player etc. I suspect the other local libraries stock these too but I couldn't comment on the selection. Hope this helps. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/26990-can-anyone-help/#findComment-595527 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top Banana Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Hilili,I would be happy to buy a new device for your friend. Let me know what you need.TB Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/26990-can-anyone-help/#findComment-595738 Share on other sites More sharing options...
hilili Posted November 28, 2012 Author Share Posted November 28, 2012 Hi TopbananaThank you so much for your kindness, I think the most useful thing would be a personal radio, it would have to have simple controls as the patient is not used to blindness, I would also be happy to put money towards something, I've organised a speaking clock - hopefully that will also be useful.
