Eastbourne hearing centre receives a welcome donation

Face masks cause problems to people with deafness and hearing difficulties - something that visors can help with.

200 face visors were donated by Sussex Freemasons to the hearing centre offices on Upperton Road.

The visors allow visitors to feel more confident about being able to communicate with staff and volunteers in a Covid-19 safe environment.

East Sussex Hearing’s manager, Glynwen Chetcuti said, “This kind gift will go a long way in enabling access to our new centre to as many people as possible; resulting in us being able to give more support, reassurance and advice to those with deafness and hearing difficulties.”

Glynwen thanked John Hornblow from Sussex Freemasons.

East Sussex Hearing’s open days are every Tuesday and Wednesday 10am-12.30pm and 1.30pm-4pm.
