Caritas Care’s Bridging the Gap Project, offers monthly outreach or ‘drop in’ clinics at a number of venues across Cumbria to advise on the use and maintenance of hearing aids and other equipment.
We ask for a small donation of just £3 per person at each visit to help us fund this service.
Our team of volunteers offers practical help and advice supported by our Project Workers. If you have difficulty with your hearing aid or find it hard to hear the telephone or TV we can offer support and advice such as:
- exchanging batteries for NHS hearing aids
- re-tube, check and clean NHS hearing aids
- offer advice on specialist equipment to assist hearing eg amplified telephones, loop systems, door bells, etc
