Four more Auracast systems ready for installation across East Sussex!

We're excited to see these four Auracast setups heading out to new locations, helping make public spaces more accessible and inclusive for people with hearing loss.

Auracast is the next generation of assistive listening technology. It allows visitors to receive clear audio directly to compatible hearing aids, cochlear implants, earbuds, smartphones, and dedicated receivers, reducing background noise and improving understanding.

Whether you run a:
✅ Community venue
✅ Church or place of worship
✅ Visitor attraction
✅ Waiting room
✅ Conference facility
✅ Theatre or meeting space
✅ Customer service centre

Auracast can help create a more welcoming experience for everyone.

With over 12 million people in the UK living with hearing loss, making your venue hearing friendly isn't just the right thing to do, it's good customer service too.

Interested in bringing the latest hearing accessibility technology to your organisation?

👂🌍 International Week of Deaf People 2026 🌍👂

This week, we join organisations around the world in celebrating International Week of Deaf People, raising awareness of deafness, hearing loss, deafblindness, and the importance of equal access and inclusion for all.

Did you know that hearing loss is often called an invisible disability? Many people face daily challenges accessing conversations, services, workplaces, transport, healthcare and social activities.

At East Sussex Hearing, we're committed to helping people across East Sussex live well with hearing loss through:
✅ Information, advice and support
✅ Hearing aid maintenance and guidance
✅ Assistive listening technology
✅ Deaf awareness and accessibility support
✅ Communication and community services

This week is an opportunity for all of us to think about how we can make our communities more accessible. Simple actions such as facing someone when speaking, reducing background noise, using hearing loops or Auracast technology, and being patient can make a huge difference.

Together, we can create a society where everyone can communicate, connect and belong.

We're delighted to share that, thanks to a recent grant from Sussex Community Foundation, East Sussex Hearing has been able to expand our reach and reintroduce our popular Hearing Aid Maintenance (HAM) sessions in Rye and Langney.

These local sessions make it easier for people with hearing loss to access support, maintenance, batteries and advice closer to home.
