Our own informative and lively magazine, called Hearing Eye, is published quarterly. It contains news about members and local groups, information about forthcoming events, as well as Christian teaching. There are also reports of past events, descriptions of audio equipment, articles of special interest to those with poor hearing, and updates on Open Ears Worldwide.

Events

Conferences/holidays

OE regularly organise fellowship days and weekends, plus a yearly conference/holiday in different locations around the country for hard of hearing and deaf people where we enjoy good teaching, fellowship with others who share and understand the problems associated with hearing loss, outings to local places of interest, fun and laughter.

At our talks and workshops we provide a loop system so that those with hearing aids can benefit from using the T switch on their hearing aid, sign language interpreters when needed, note takers, and overhead projector using PowerPoint presentations, so that no one misses out on what is going on.

Local group meetings

There are several local groups around the country who meet on a regular basis to support and encourage each other and share Bible study, prayer, teaching and fellowship. Each group is different and is organised by the local group leader.
