About

Established in Hertfordshire in 1984 as Hertfordshire Deafness Support Association (HeDSA), the charity has gone from strength to strength. We run hearing aid clinics that support NHS Audiology departments in Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire, Suffolk and West Northamptonshire,.

Hearing is a vital part of communication and we make sure hearing aids are properly maintained. We offer services such as drop-in centres, care home visits, lip-reading courses, social clubs, deaf awareness and hearing aider training courses, all of which are run by our team of friendly volunteers.
