IAIN SMITH MSP BACKS RNID'S CHECKS FOR A HEALTHY HEARING FUTURE

12.00.00am BST (GMT +0100) Wed 30th Sep 2009

North East Fife MSP, Iain Smith, has joined RNID Scotland's call for people to value their hearing and take the charity's specially developed hearing check.

At the Liberal Democrat party conference in Bournemouth, Iain Smith took RNID's five-minute hearing check, which assesses your ability to hear someone speaking with background noise - similar to being in a crowded room - and helps identify whether you have a hearing loss.

Iain Smith MSP says: "Many people don't realise how important their hearing is in their everyday lives, until they start to lose it. I'm lending my voice to RNID Scotland's Hearing Matters campaign, which is encouraging you to look after your hearing by visiting www.rnid.org.uk/hearingmatters or dialling 0844 800 3838 and take immediate action to avoid experiencing unnecessary isolation from friends, family and colleagues."

Director of RNID Scotland, Delia Henry, says: "On average, people take 15 years to deal with their hearing loss and, in that time, a person's quality of life can be greatly reduced. We urge people in north east Fife to follow Iain Smith MSP's example and take RNID's check today, so that you can start addressing any hearing loss and ensure you don't miss out on leading a fulfilling and active life."
