Congratulations to Nicole in Senior Infants on the launch of her book which she co-authored with her friends in Chime National Charity for Deafness & Hearing Loss. It is a unique insight into the lives of children who are deaf or hard of hearing. Well done Nicole, we are so proud of you! 📚✒️🖌

It’s very worrying (using polite language here!) that it takes the DSP officials 4 attempts to reach the correct and OBVIOUS decision! kildarestreet.com/wrans/?id=2024…

A lovely read about Deaf Village Ireland and its importance to the Deaf community. theliberty.ie/2024/03/06/hid…

Today is World Hearing Day and Chime is encouraging anyone struggling with #hearingloss to take action. For most, #hearinaids are very beneficial. mailtrack.io/l/b9c93b4b8d41…

There are about 3000 deaf and hard of hearing children and young people in Ireland. Until Dr Elizabeth Mathews and Chime National Charity for Deafness & Hearing Loss's landmark study we knew relatively little about their experiences. Catch Dr Mathews in #MyUniLife at 8pm this Friday on RTÉ One. Read: launch.dcu.ie/3uQRHiw

Chime was delighted to present to the Oireachtas Committee on Health today. The Committee fully supported the need for a National Hearing Care Plan to eliminate HSE waiting lists and make hearing aids more affordable for those who have to purchase them.

Glad to report that a joint statement of the DSP, CIB and SLIS confirms the continuation of the Voucher Scheme for the Deaf community. This should never have happened in the first place. #voucherscheme #Deafcommunity gov.ie/en/press-relea…

Absolutely shocking news that the Voucher Scheme for social inclusion for the Deaf community has been paused due to a funding issue. Please sort this fiasco out now! citizensinfo Department of Social Protection Sign Language Interpreting Services - SLIS Ireland

'The absence of ISL as a Leaving Certificate subject not only marginalises the Deaf community but also ignores the linguistic & cultural significance of ISL' Aodhán Ó Ríordáin
