We are looking for friendly, practical and reliable volunteers to help run monthly Hearing Aid Maintenance Clinics at one of our four NW London developments. For many older people and people living with disabilities, something as simple as a hearing aid not working properly can have a significant impact on everyday life, making it difficult to communicate, socialise and stay connected with others. Access to routine audiology support can also involve long waiting times, leaving people struggling with problems that could often be resolved quickly and easily. With full training, you will learn how to identify and resolve common hearing aid problems and carry out basic maintenance to help tenants get the best out of their hearing aids. Many common problems are relatively straightforward to fix. These include replacing hearing aid tubing, which accounts for the majority of issues, and cleaning or clearing wax and debris from domes and ear moulds. While these tasks may be simple for someone with good eyesight and manual dexterity, they can be extremely challenging for people with sight loss or physical disabilities. As a volunteer, you will provide practical, hands-on assistance to tenants attending the monthly clinic, helping them keep their hearing aids in good working order. You will also be able to flag any more complex problems or additional equipment needs to the JBD team. No previous experience of hearing aids is necessary, as full practical training will be provided. The clinic will take place once a month at one of our developments, providing a regular and manageable volunteering commitment. An application form, references and a DBS check will be required before volunteering can commence. JBD will apply for the DBS on the volunteer's behalf.
