UK Veterans Hearing Foundation and Echoz CIC Partnership
We are excited to announce a new partnership between the UK Veterans Hearing Foundation (UKVHF) and Echoz CIC, established on July 4th, 2024. This collaboration aims to support veterans suffering from hearing loss and associated tinnitus by leveraging the strengths and resources of both organisations.
About Echoz CIC
Echoz CIC is a dedicated and innovative company specialising in monitoring solutions for construction sites and residential buildings. They provide acoustic, vibration, and dust monitoring services, along with air tightness and acoustic insulation testing for homes. Echoz CIC goes beyond their technical services by providing 70% of their profits to support veterans with hearing problems, demonstrating their commitment to making a positive impact on the community.
The Impact of This Partnership
This partnership is crucial for addressing the unique hearing needs of veterans, many of whom suffer from high-frequency sensorineural hearing loss due to exposure to gunshots and artillery fire. This type of hearing loss cannot be treated with standard NHS hearing aids. UKVHF provides custom-made, high-tech hearing aids tailored to the specific conditions veterans face daily.
Without this service, many veterans struggle with depression and isolation, making it difficult to reintegrate into civilian life. These challenges often lead to severe consequences, such as suicides, family break-ups, and homelessness. Due to limited funding, donations from partners like Echoz CIC is crucial in enabling us to provide essential support and prevent these unfortunate outcomes.
Commitment to Support
Echoz CIC has committed to making regular donations to UKVHF, which will significantly aid our efforts to provide these essential hearing aids and support services. We are incredibly grateful for their generosity and dedication to our cause.
By partnering with Echoz CIC, we aim to mitigate issues faced by veterans and enhance their quality of life. This partnership will also help increase awareness of the challenges faced by veterans with hearing loss and support our ongoing funding efforts.
We believe this partnership marks the beginning of a significant journey towards better supporting our veterans and look forward to achieving remarkable outcomes together.
