Deaf Awareness Week 4th - 10th May 2020

By

  • An estimated 900,000 people in the UK have severe or profound hearing loss.
  • There are 12 million people with hearing loss across the UK, that's around one in six of us.
  • There are 50,000 children with hearing loss in the UK. Around half are born with hearing loss while the other half lose their hearing during childhood.

The UK Council on Deafness was first founded in 1993 and is the national umbrella organisation for charities and professional bodies working in the field of deafness. Deaf Awareness Week aims to promote the positive aspects of deafness, promote social inclusion and raise awareness of the huge range of local organisations that support deaf people and their family and friends. The theme of this year's campaign is “acquired deafness”.
