Will you donate today to fund pioneering research to help the next generation to hear? 

RNID are the only charity in the UK dedicated to funding hearing research. They are funding research today that will help improve cochlear implants and reduce the risks associated with surgery, so more people can benefit from this life-changing technology. 

Only £1 per person affected by hearing loss is spent on research, compared with £16 per person for sight loss. When you consider hearing loss affects 18 million people in the UK, something isn’t adding up.  

With your generous support, we can help ensure more children like Tilly receive the benefit of having a cochlear implant.  

Christopher's story

"Tilly was a very happy surprise, making us a family of five. She came into our world by a planned c section, with a shock of dark hair that set her apart from her brother Toby and sister Maddy.   

When we found out that she was born with profound hearing loss, I was devastated. 

Back then, I had no idea how this would change our lives. I won’t lie to you, the uncertainty was really scary. We were told that hearing aids wouldn’t help Tilly to hear, but a cochlear implant might.  

The difference a cochlear implant has made to Tilly’s life is incredible. She’s vocal, she loves dancing to music and she’s very outgoing. It’s changed her life and ours, more than we could have ever imagined. 

RNID funded the scientists that helped developed the first cochlear implant in the UK. Even with advances in hearing technology there is still more to do to improve the experience of wearing a cochlear implant."

Can you help ensure more children like Tilly receive the benefit of having a cochlear implant? A donation today could help fund research to improve cochlear implants ensuring, more experience the joy of sound.

How your donations are changing lives

On average, every £1 we invest in research generates £6 of further funding.         

For every £1 we receive, 88p goes to help people who are deaf, have hearing loss, or tinnitus.
