Access

We believe in the inclusiveness of all people in all aspect of society. By reasonable access, we mean that people who are hard of hearing enjoy the same services that people with normal hearing do in terms of watching television, making train or airplane journeys , taking out books at libraries etc.

Travelling by plane or tram, going to the theatre, watching  the news on TV, guided tours of the art gallery or the natural history museum should be accessible to all.

We (IHHA) concentrate on the needs of Hard of Hearing people. However as a group we believe in the full inclusion of all and we work with other disability, voluntary and charitable organisations on many issues.
