Do you use a hearing aid? Help us shape what our solution should be.

Bryan Kitchen — Wed, 25 Mar 2026 09:00:11 +0000

The St. Nicolas Restoration Group (SNRG) are commencing the next phase of their project which includes updating the audio-visual equipment in the building.

Consultation with Audiologists within the NHS indicate hearing aids compatible with induction loops will no longer be offered in the near future and replaced by units that use Bluetooth connection.

As a consequence SNRG are asking hearing aid users what they use to help inform what their solution should be. Is a hearing induction loop still required within the church?

Could you therefore answer 2 quick questions in the attached survey? And return those answers as requested?

SNRG thank you for helping shape how we best meet your needs going forward.
