New newspaper for people with hearing loss
 

A new topical newspaper for deaf and hard of hearing people and their friends and families has launched.

Hearing Times® has been designed to provide news, information and advice to people with hearing loss and provide a communication forum for them to interact with each other and with hearing industry professionals, the providers of hearing equipment and with teachers of lip reading and sign language.

Officially launched in September '08, the paper was initially circulated to charities, care homes, hearing industry professionals and hearing aid dispensers, and from this month, individuals will be able to subscribe.

The DeafBlog has received the latest couple of issues and is very impressed. Hearing Times covers everything from news to legal advice, theatre listings, sport, music, book reviews and case studies.

Editor Gemma Davidson says that the newspaper will also have a strong focus on the daily living environment in schools and colleges, the workplace and home.
