The Big RNID Survey 2024

RNID, the charity supporting people who are deaf, have hearing loss or tinnitus, are running a survey about your life experiences. Are you deaf, or do you have hearing loss? Then we want you to tell us what it’s like living in the UK today. This is the biggest survey RNID has ever run to understand public attitudes towards deaf people and people with hearing loss. We’ve asked the general public what they think about deafness and hearing loss and now – most importantly – we want to find out from our the deaf and hearing loss communities about their real-life experiences. Your opinion matters. It helps to educate, change people’s minds, and influence their behaviour. Share your experiences and help make a more inclusive society for all. There is also a chance to win one of five £100 shopping vouchers. More information: Start Survey
