Central Bristol Hearing Loss & Tech Support Group

A safe, friendly, and accessible evening group for anyone navigating hearing loss, tinnitus, or medical ear conditions. Connect, share your story, and test the latest hearing technology in a noise-free environment.

Why We Meet

Losing your hearing later in life or managing complex ear conditions is an individual journey—and it often feels like a quiet process of adjustment. Our group brings together hard-of-hearing adults across Bristol to share practical advice, support one another through shared experiences, and explore modern solutions that make daily life easier.

What to Expect at Each Meeting
