Our hard-working volunteer Katrina Williams has let me know about an important conference on 6 May in central London focussing on hearing loss and related issues.Katrina takes a particular interest in the subject and last year travelled to Paris to attend a conference on this subject; she's found that there's always something new and interesting to discover.
Here are the details about the event in May: Katrina will be attending.
It's organised by the National Association of Deafened People (NDAP) and Europe Federation of Hard of Hearing People (EFHOH) and will be held at Friends House, Friends House, 173-177 Euston Road, London, NW1 2BJ.
