Life for those with a hearing loss set to improve. People with a hearing loss can often misunderstand the spoken word. There are certain sounds people don’t hear very well even if they have a mild hearing loss. In particular, consonant sounds like ‘f’ ‘s’ and ‘sh’ which are quite high pitched are often not heard whatsoever in running speech because most people lose their hearing for high pitched sounds first and those sounds are particularly soft in the first instance. Many vowel sounds are easier to hear because they are powerful, relatively low pitched and of a long duration. Consonants with ‘vowel like’ sounds in them like a ‘b’ or a ‘d’ may be difficult to distinguish from each other because only the low pitched parts of the sound may be heard which means a ‘b’ and a ‘d’ sound essentially the same.
Spare a thought for someone with hearing loss next time you get frustrated and possibly shout because you have been ignored or had to repeat yourself. Shouting won’t necessarily help because as much as you shout ‘s’ or ‘f’ sounds won’t be heard more clearly. Advances in digital hearing aids mean that soft high-pitched sounds are amplified preferentially and a new technology known as ‘frequency compression’ actually makes these sounds audible for people with severe hearing losses by changing the pitch of these sounds. If you, or a relative, would like to know more about how these technologies work or perhaps arrange a free trial call Cleveleys 855205 Tues to Friday 9.30am to 5.00pm. Ask to speak to Gary Waite or Gary Bradshaw.

ÂŁ100 reward for catching a Wyre fly tipper Cash rewards are being offered to residents who help Wyre Borough Council catch fly tippers. During a six-month pilot scheme, ÂŁ100 will be given to people who provide information leading to the prosecution of anyone who illegally dumps rubbish on public land. The reward has been introduced to tackle a growing problem in Wyre's neighbourhoods, particularly those with a network of unadopted alleyways or rural areas where hedgerows provide screening. Councillor Paul Moon, Cabinet member with responsibility for waste removal, said: "Fly tippers dump their rubbish when they think they won't be spot-
ted. Combined with the need for strong evidence, this makes it very difficult to take action against them. "Enlisting the help of residents gives us more eyes and ears in our communities. Their evidence could help us secure more prosecutions, which is often enough to stop offenders doing it again.
passed on to the council in a number of ways - by texting to 01253 891000 (area code must be entered) - by calling 01253 89100 - online at www.wyrebc.gov.uk/ Find/51055 - in writing to Street Scene Enforcement Officer, Civic Centre, Breck Road, Poulton-le-Fylde, Lancashire FY6 7PU. The scheme will be evaluated at the end of six months to determine take up and impact on fly tipping statistics.
"Fly tippers might also think twice if they know more people are watching out for them." The person providing the evidence must give their name and address and be prepared to attend court where necessary. Information (with pictures where possible) can be

TOUGH TIMES AHEAD FOR FAMILIES While the plunge in mortgage rates eased millions of households through the financial crisis after the global meltdown of autumn 2008, balancing the books for many families could get much trickier from now on.
B
roadly, expenditure is set to rise, while many people's income will struggle to keep up. In many cases, incomes will fall as the Government cuts public spending. For consumers, higher VAT means petrol rising by 2.5p per litre, cigarettes by 12p per pack and a pint of lager or glass of wine by 7p. Economic growth would fall from 1.25% to 0.75%, while the Consumer Price Index (CPI) would receive a healthy kick and 47,000 jobs could go in the retail sector as spending tails off. Bruce Fair, Kelkoo managing director, says: "A VAT increase raises Government revenues significantly, but consumers are left facing an increase in the price of everyday goods at a time when salaries generally are being frozen and the overall tax burden is increasing. "The combination of lower disposable incomes, and a reluctance to increase borrowing in the current economic climate, is likely to result in lower levels of spending." Plenty of evidence suggests discretionary spending - on things not absolutely essential - is falling: summer holidays, for instance, are widely discounted, vouchers slash the cost of eating out, clubland spending by younger people is taking a dive. Looking forward, interest rates must rise. Investec Bank reckons one in three savers dipped into cash reserves in the past six months, while the website

Moneysupermarket.com says five million people admit to regularly using a credit card to pay household bills.
“
2.5 million people withdraw cash on their cards, potentially costing£90 million a year in fees because cash transaction APRs usually top 20%
”
Kevin Mountford, head of banking at Moneysupermarket.com, says: "Used responsibly, credit cards can be an integral part of household budgeting, but it is alarming to see so many people using their cards to pay for what should be everyday spending.
"Funding a large purchase such as a TV over the length of an interest-free period makes sense. But consumers turning to credit cards to fund basic household bills on a regular basis should be hearing alarm bells, as this habit needs to be avoided wherever possible - it's really a case of robbing Peter to pay Paul." This landscape is familiar to Gary Miller-Cheevers, who started Speed-e-loans as an online agency to provide payday loans in January 2010: his 14-strong team lends a total £250,000 per week to 1,000 applicants. The first loan, limited to £250, is to be repaid when their pay cheque arrives.
