New website helps deaf and hearing impaired

From: Stuff.co.nz, New Zealand - Nov 24, 2003

The National Foundation for the Deaf has launched a new website.

The site (www.nfd.org.nz) provides support, information and advice for the deaf and those concerned about hearing loss.

The website features a customised search that locates helpful organisations by area.

Recent news stories, factual information and the latest research provide up to date information on deafness and hearing impairment. An online hearing test will recommend if people should have their hearing tested further and advises where to go to do this.
