Access to work grants for hearing loss

For many people who are deaf or have hearing loss or tinnitus, the workplace can present communication challenges that make daily tasks more difficult than they need to be. This can affect job performance, relationships and your confidence. The good news? The UK government’s Access to Work scheme exists to remove those barriers. If you need communication support, assistive technology, or other adjustments to thrive in your job, this grant could make a real difference.

Financial support can help cover costs for:

Communication support for meetings
Assistive listening devices
Technology such as loop systems
Other tools that help you perform your job effectively

"I was awarded an Access to Work grant to help me purchase assistive listening devices for my hearing loss. The scheme gave me three suggested online retailers, but they were faceless websites and I had no idea what I actually needed or whether the equipment would be suitable for me.That’s when I found Dr Jeff at Ear Care Specialists in Nottingham. He was superb from start to finish — advising me on what would genuinely help, sourcing all the recommended equipment, ordering it, and making sure everything was set up correctly. He even made a cost saving as one piece of (.GOV recommended) equipment wasn't compatible with my hearing aids. He supported me throughout the whole process, and it felt like the professional, personalised service I’d been hoping for. I now have complete peace of mind knowing I can go back to him for help whenever I need it. If you have hearing loss and have been awarded an Access to Work grant, I would highly recommend seeing Jeff at Ear Care Specialists"
