SIR – I totally support the letters from Eric Mills and C Idle re Professor Chris Raine and the Listening For Life Centre at the BRI.

I do wonder if Bradford people realise how lucky they are to have this amazing facility on their doorstop. Please do not take it for granted.

Thanks to Professor Raine and his amazing team, so many profoundly deaf people have been, and continue to be, helped back to hearing. Recognition is certainly due.

I know he and his wife are not above fundraising themselves and remember Dr Anna Raine swimming outdoors for a mile in rather cold temperatures to raise funds!
