Hearing solutions for institutions and communities
In short: For residents of assisted living and nursing homes, the institution can host a hearing test day, a combined check day that also covers existing hearing aids, needs assessment and fitting, and hearing aid maintenance; for staff and families, talks and training. Activities run across the country by appointment, and each one is built with the institution. Start with a planning call: 055-3333338.
For managers, social workers, activity coordinators and nursing managers: everything that can be arranged at your institution around hearing, hearing aids and communication with residents.
Who it is for
Assisted living, nursing homes, nursing-care settings, clubs and community centres. Usually the person who books the activity is not the person who takes part: a social worker who notices residents struggling in conversation, an activity coordinator looking for a talk, a nursing manager whose staff ask how to look after hearing aids, or a manager who wants an organised answer to an issue that keeps coming back. You do not need to know the right format in advance. Just describe what is happening.
What can be arranged at your institution
Combined check days
One day that brings together tests, checks of existing hearing aids and follow-up for residents who already use one.
Hearing awareness talks
For residents, club members or families: how hearing changes, what helps in conversation, and what is useful to know about hearing aids.
Technical training for staff
A maintenance workshop, training for nursing staff and a troubleshooting day.
Needs assessment and fitting
For residents for whom a hearing aid may be worth exploring, followed by a tailored proposal.
Hearing aid maintenance and service
Cleaning, filters, minor repairs and minor adjustments on site, depending on the hearing aid and the case; further treatment at the laboratory by arrangement.
