If you live in Kent and are deaf or have a hearing loss, then you are entitled to a statutory assessment of your needs and to have equipment provided for you in your home on a free-of-charge long-term loan basis. Hi Kent provides equipment if you are aged 26 years old or over and you do not have major sight loss (a dual sensory need), and you live in the KCC council tax area. Visit the Hi Kent website at hikent.org.uk for more information.
