Get the most from your hearing aids

How the toolkit was developed

The toolkit is a joint effort created by researchers and people who have hearing aids. It was developed by researchers at The University of Nottingham and Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust, along with support from The National Institute for Health and Care Research and RNID.

The toolkit combines research evidence, scientific theory, and the real-life experiences of many hearing aid users, to help overcome common challenges.

The toolkit is here to help guide you in managing your hearing loss with hearing aids, step by step.
