At Tiggo Care, we provide hearing impairment home care in London built around your loved one's specific needs, ensuring they receive the right support for their health condition from a carer who truly understands their hearing impairment.
Most people with a hearing impairment live independently and manage well without additional help. However, when a separate health condition requires care, it matters greatly that the carer can communicate with your loved one in a way that works for them. Without this, even the most attentive care can fall short. Our home care services for people with hearing impairment are built on this understanding.
Our trained carers know how to communicate effectively with those with hearing loss, adapting to each person's preferred approach. Key strategies for supporting a person with hearing loss include reducing background noise, maintaining face-to-face contact, and ensuring clear communication. They use sign language, written notes, and assistive devices as needed, depending on what suits your loved one best. This person-centred care approach makes every visit more effective and more comfortable for everyone involved.
Our team works closely with you to understand your loved one's individual needs, their lifestyle, and their circumstances. We are committed to helping your loved one stay safe, maintain their independence, and enjoy the best possible quality of life in their own home. Arranging dedicated home care has never been simpler. Our friendly team is ready to help. Contact us today to find out how our hearing impairment home care in London can make a real difference.

Whatever your care needs and wherever your loved one is on their care journey, please contact us and let’s talk. We're here to help.
Hearing impairment is the partial or total inability to hear in one or both ears. It can range from mild hearing loss to complete deafness and can affect people of any age.
Current estimates suggest that around one in three adults experiences some form of hearing difficulty, which amounts to more than 18 million people in the UK. The likelihood of hearing loss increases with age. More than half of adults aged 55 and above live with some degree of hearing impairment. This rises to nearly 80% among those over 70.
Approximately 2.4 million adults in the UK have hearing loss severe enough to make everyday conversational speech difficult to hear. The prevalence of hearing impairment is expected to rise, with estimates suggesting that by 2031, around 14.5 million people in the UK, approximately 20% of the population, will experience some degree of hearing loss.
Many people with hearing loss can manage alone with the help of home adaptations and technology, but those who have lost their hearing later in life may find it challenging to adapt to environmental and lifestyle changes.
Hearing impairment can develop for several different reasons, including the following common causes:
Your GP can give advice on the best course of action for your loved one's hearing needs. Assistive listening devices such as hearing aids and cochlear implants can enhance communication for people with hearing impairments.
Home adaptations can also help people with hearing impairments manage their environment and maintain their independence at home. For those who use British Sign Language, interpreting services and local community groups can help them access services and stay connected.
Home care services for people with hearing impairment offer many benefits, including enabling continued independence in familiar surroundings. For people who need care for a separate health condition, having a carer who understands their hearing impairment makes the whole experience far more effective.
Dedicated support for people with hearing impairment helps them manage daily challenges in their own homes. Having a dedicated carer means there is always someone to help when difficult situations arise while running errands or attending appointments or social activities.
Our carers can assist your loved one with a wide range of daily tasks, including:
Our team can also provide guidance on assistive devices and technology to make living at home safer and more comfortable.
Effective hearing impairment home care focuses on modifying the environment, using specialist communication techniques, and utilising assistive technology. Home care can improve safety and reduce the risk of accidents, giving family members real peace of mind. Our carers can also help your loved one access community alarm services that support people with hearing impairments to live independently and stay safe at home.
Our carers offer genuine companionship and help your loved one stay involved in their community, building confidence and a sense of belonging. Home care services can be provided through visiting care or live-in care. Respite care is also available to give family members a well-earned break.

Our home care service is based on personal experience
We understand, first-hand how important it is to secure flexible and bespoke home care for your loved one.
“Tiggo Care is born out of my own personal experiences, following my struggle to find suitable care for my parents, both of whom lived with rare diseases..."

At Tiggo Care we understand how precious your loved one is to you and how unique they are. We also appreciate how overwhelming it can be to research and source the most suitable type of care.
We fundamentally believe that there is no ‘one size fits all’ care package and like to work with you and your loved one to understand your specific requirements. We’ll then create a tailored care package and match your relative with their ideal carer.
Unlike some other care providers, we are fully regulated by the Care Quality Commission. This means we are regularly inspected, rated and audited to ensure we are a safe, effective, caring, responsive and well led organisation, committed to delivering the best possible care.
We’re also proud members of the Homecare Association, the U.K’s membership body for home care providers, which holds organisations to a high set of standards and requests them to abide by a strict code of practice
At Tiggo Care, all of our carers undergo a rigorous recruitment and induction process. They are fully vetted and background checked, with all references followed up. Our carers undertake their training on the best eLearning system currently available within the UK care market, ensuring they are well placed to deliver the best possible service. Specialist training courses such as moving and handling, medications and basic life support are also completed by our carers face to face, as we feel these courses are more effective when delivered in person.

Our care manager will arrange a free consultation with you at your loved one’s home to better understand your requirements, create a personalised care plan and pair your loved one with a suitable carer.
And that’s it. You’re all set! We’ll introduce you to your loved one’s carer and the whole team, who’ll be able to provide you with all the ongoing support you’ll need.
Carers play a vital role in assisting those with hearing impairments, particularly with communication, acting as facilitators in conversations with family members, neighbours, and health professionals. They ensure messages are understood by using clear gestures, written notes, and visual aids. This thoughtful approach makes daily life smoother and more enjoyable for people with hearing loss, improving their quality of life.
Consider home care when hearing impairment, combined with another health condition, starts to make daily tasks more challenging. Also, older adults with hearing loss may face additional struggles due to age-related concerns like mobility issues, sight loss, or cognitive decline. A trained carer can help with communication and assist your loved one in following the care routines their doctor has recommended, ensuring they stay safe and comfortable at home. If you are unsure whether now is the right time, our team is happy to offer guidance and advice.
Routine maintenance of hearing aids, including cleaning and battery changes, is essential for their proper functioning. Our carers can assist clients with this and provide guidance on how to get the most from their hearing aids and other assistive devices. If your loved one is unable to maintain their hearing aids themselves, our team is on hand to help.
A range of assistive devices and technology can help people with hearing impairment stay safe and communicate more easily in their own home. Vibrating alarm clocks and visual alarm clocks can alert someone with hearing impairment to sounds they might otherwise miss. Visual alarms using bright flashing lights can alert people with hearing impairment to emergencies like smoke or carbon monoxide. Employing assistive listening devices like TV streaming systems, captioned telephones, or personal amplifiers can also greatly enhance communication for people with hearing loss.
Yes, Tiggo Care offers flexible short-term care for people with hearing impairments. This can take the form of respite care, such as when family members who usually provide care take a well-deserved break. Whether it is support after surgery or temporary help while your primary carer goes on holiday, our carers ensure your loved one's needs are met.
Tiggo Care provides a range of at-home services for people with hearing impairments, from personal care and medication management to support with social activities and household tasks. Home care services provide personalised support tailored to each person’s specific needs. Our carers are trained to assist your loved one in a way that respects their independence and enhances their daily life.
Respite care gives family members a well-earned break while ensuring their loved one continues receiving the right support. Home care services can help family members who provide care at home for a loved one with hearing loss through either visiting care or live-in care. Contact our team today to find out how we can provide the assistance your family needs.
