What do you study at uni/college and what support do you get?
Not studying yet. I go back in October. When I was studying, I received: - text-to-speech software - note taker - someone to help me to get around - scanner and printer
All lecture slides, etc. were emailed to me before the lecture so I was able to put them into my preferred format and read them.

Enough to get around, just. But I have no depth perception and am colourblind. On a good day, I can read most of the eye chart with my left and a few lines of the eye chart with my right eye. (which always has been very weak compared to the left)
I'm completely deaf in my left ear and partially in my right. Anyone know what happens with regards to accommodation as I need smoke alarms that flash/vibrate my pillow???

Have you contacted whoever owns the accommodation? Action on Hearing Loss (formerly RNID) should have some advice.

I have the same issue as you and asked around at loads of uni's. As long as you put your disability down on Ucas they should contact you and that's when you can request one- a dsa should help pay for it if they don't already have one

Hi abiislame,
I just came across your message and was wondering if I could help? I'm a Student Ambassador for Kingston University and have a close relationship with our Disabilities department.
I would suggest that you contact all universities you are interested in directly and ask them about services they provide for students who are hard of hearing. Here at Kingston we can arrange a viewing of our rooms for disabled students on open days, our disability team are also accessible so you can ask questions.
The main thing is being somewhere you are comfortable and feel confident.
I hope this helps
Please let me know if you have any more questions.
