RNID in Scotland

In Scotland, one in three adults are deaf or have hearing loss. We’re here for everyone in Scotland who is deaf, has hearing loss or tinnitus.

We work in communities across the country to provide information and support. We also campaign for equal access to employment, health and entertainment, to improve standards in audiology care, and for healthcare that is accessible to everyone.
