Swansea audiologists back world champion Wales Deaf Rugby teams as they prepare to defend titles in Tokyo
The backing from Specsavers Swansea, alongside 10 other locally owned Specsavers audiology businesses across Wales, will fund new kits, training facilities and travel to upcoming fixtures as the teams gear up for international competition.
The sponsorship comes as Wales Deaf Rugby works towards a £150,000 fundraising target to enable its men’s and women’s squads to travel to Japan and compete at the World Championship in October. The teams were last crowned world champions in Córdoba, Argentina, in 2023.
Ahead of a recent winning match against Jamaica, several players visited Specsavers’ Port Talbot store, where they met Kyle James, Specsavers audiologist, to discuss how hearing plays a key role in both sport and everyday life.

“Wales Deaf Rugby shows what’s possible when talent is matched with the right support. We’re proud to be backing both the men’s and women’s teams as they prepare to defend their world titles.
“As audiologists rooted in the local community, we see first-hand the difference good hearing health can make – not just in sport, but in confidence, communication and everyday life. Supporting these athletes is about inclusion, opportunity and helping them compete on the world stage.”
Siân-Elin Melbourne, chairman for Wales Deaf Rugby, added:
“This partnership means a huge amount to us, especially in such a pivotal year for the club. I was proud to be part of the very first Wales Deaf women’s team back in 2019, and to now see both squads preparing to defend world titles on the global stage is incredibly powerful.
“Support from Specsavers doesn’t just help with travel and kits – it sends a message to our players that they are valued, believed in and backed by their communities. As we build towards Tokyo, that belief makes all the difference.”
Wales Deaf Rugby is a Welsh sports charity dedicated to creating inclusive opportunities for deaf and hard-of-hearing athletes, promoting access, equality and excellence in sport. It is volunteer-run and receives no funding from the Welsh Rugby Union.
The club is currently fundraising to reach its £150,000 target to send both squads to Tokyo for the World Championship in October, where they will face international competition as defending champions.
People wishing to donate to the club’s World Deaf Rugby 7s World Championship fundraiser can do so at donate.giveasyoulive.com/campaign/help-send-wdru-to-the-world-cup-2026.

By any chance, has anyone reading this had the #OSIA surgery? My #audiology Doc recommended it, and it looks like my insurance will cover it. (I have almost complete #hearing loss at my right side after a stroke)

#Audiology departments in NHS hospitals are vital to people with hearing related conditions of all ages and all incomes.
They’ve been seen as the Cinderella service that can be palmed off to the private sector for far too long.
Yes, there are long waiting times across the #NHS, but audiology services are still important especially to children and those who experience sudden deafness.

‘because #audiology is not a consultant-led speciality, it is not subject to the standard laid out the #NHS constitution of 92% of patients receiving elective treatment within 18 weeks of referral – a key focus within the NHS’s new report.
However, we know that audiology is currently the worst performing diagnostic service.’
This is where assumption of private hearing care comes from

The Trouble with Trebles
umbú asks "How can I translate my hearing test results to a music player's graphic equalizer so that I can boost certain frequencies to match how a recorded music track is meant to sound?" and flug replies, "Hmm, just by complete chance I've spent the past several days messing around with just exactly this ... and the end result is, my $20 or $40 headphones end up sounding as good as $200 or $400 models." Tons of great info here!

Apple ipods as hearing aids, very exciting development!
"Today, prescription hearing aids still cost thousands of dollars. OTC devices cost significantly less. The generic preset ones sell for roughly $100 and the more personalized self-fitting ones around $1,000. The hearing aid from Apple will essentially perform like the expensive devices for the price of the cheaper ones at $249. And for those who already own the AirPods Pro 2, it won’t cost anything extra. "

Time for a new #Introduction . I’m a Lecturer in #Neuroscience in #London at the #UniversityOfRoehampton . I study #NoiseExposure & #HearingLoss & how it affects #AuditoryProcessing , #Audiology , & #Hearing ; particularly #SpeechInNoise & #PredictiveCoding . I focus on #HiddenHearingLoss noise exposure & I’m really interested in the intersection between noise exposure & #Neurodivergent conditions like #Autism & #Schizophrenia .
My home is a #Boat & most of my pictures here involve my #Cat .

Audiograms and Prevalence of Hearing Loss in U.S. Children and Adolescents 6–19 Years of Age
L Humes 2024, JSLHR"For children and adolescents in the United States, hearing was unaffected by differences in sex and race/ethnicity, with only age impacting pure-tone thresholds and only at the lowest (500 Hz) and highest (8000 Hz) frequencies examined. The overall prevalence of hearing loss was about 11%."

@erictopol Eh, this is not particularly persuasive on it's own:
"Secondly, due to data restrictions, this study did not include audiological data such as pure tone thresholds or speech audiometry of the diagnosed patients."
I don't put a great deal of trust into studies that rely on restrospective analysis of diagnostic codes.
