Deafness in Relationships 26th August 2009
How life changes when one of you is affected by hearing loss

Your partner says the TV is on too loud and you never listen. You wonder why the whole world seems to mumble. How does hearing loss affect you and those around you? Andy has hearing loss and lives with his wife Deb in Chippenham, Wiltshire. Reporter Lizz Pearson talks to them about their relationship. To discuss how losing your hearing can actually change a relationship Jenni is joined by Jackie Ballard, Chief Executive of the RNID, and the comedian Steve Day who is deaf.
