NEW Telephone Workshop – using technology for your advantage – December 2024

Picking up a telephone again after you have had a cochlear implant, can be a daunting prospect, especially if you are not too familiar or confident with smartphone technology.

This previously successful workshop has been is getting a modern twist.  New technology means that WiFi and Bluetooth give so many more options for processor users and there are sites and apps that could make communication fun and interesting.

In this practical Workshop we will help you ‘get connected’ to your smartphone, demonstrate video calls and teach you some valuable telephone skills to build your confidence in managing the ‘phone.

If you do not have a smartphone, you are still very welcome to come along and see the useful features which can make staying in touch easier.  We will chat briefly about the best way to use a landline telephone with your cochlear implant too.

The next course is being prepared for December 2024 and will be run every few months throughout the year.
