You told us how being Deaf or having a hearing impairment affects your access to healthcare. 

You told us what it is like making and attending appointments and about communicating with health professionals.

We gathered the views and feedback of 31 people with different forms of hearing loss or impairment, through our survey.

We also spoke to six Deaf people at our feedback event in Leamington.
