Did you know that one out of every six people in your local community is 

unable to hear clearly what is being said to them, or cannot 

communicate as they'd wish with you because of hearing impairments?

The involvement of Lions clubs in helping those who are hearing impaired dates 

back to an initiative, the Hearing Trust, that was set up by members in East 

Anglia in 2003.

This led to the formation of a national project, the Hearing Forum, which provides

 training and talks to help improve deaf awareness among the hearing community

 throughout the British Isles and Ireland.
