Kirkcaldy hearing loss support group

01/12/2025

Looking forward to our meeting on Thurs 4th Dec at Touchbase, 13 Wilson Ave Kirkcaldy, 10.30am. We'll have 2 speakers from OnFife* talking about their services (from Libraries to Theatres and Museums). What approach do they take to making their services accessible? That'll be just one of the things we'll be finding out about!
New members to our group always welcome. 🙂 You can just turn up - or email us in advance: khlsgroup1@gmail.com

And it's a wrap! This afternoon's special hearing friendly event ' Accessing your Healthcare with Hearing Loss' went off so welll!! 28 of us, representing the hearing loss community from all over Fife, got together at the Adam Smith Theatre's Exchange Suite, watched a captioned webinar on this important subject, shared our own experiences and top tips for getting round barriers to accessing healthcare in many different settings. Live, in person speech to text supported out access to the afternoon, as did a portable loop system. Thanks to Adam Smith staff for all their support, to Hearing Link Services and to the legacy of Cupar Hard of Hearing Group for enabling this event to take place.
