An MP has praised the work of a deaf charity' for its "exceptional strides" in aiding the hearing impaired.

Andrew Pakes, Peterborough MP, showered the Cambridgeshire deaf charity, CDA, with praise for the crucial role they play within the community.

Known to have hearing challenges, Mr Pakes credited his hearing aids with greatly enhancing his lifestyle and ability to communicate.

From his personal experience, Mr Pakes said: "My hearing loss made me feel isolated and disconnected from those around me.

"It wasn't until others pointed it out that I sought help and underwent a hearing test. Now, with the aid of my 'magic ears,' (hearing aids) I feel reconnected and more engaged than ever."

Mr Pakes paeans of his gratitude for the CDA's efforts weren't mincing words.

He said: "I am immensely grateful for the support that CDA provides to the people of Peterborough who face hearing challenges.

"Their dedication ensures that individuals can access the resources and companionship needed to thrive."
