The Deaf Lounge is thought to be the first of its kind in the UK to offer club nights for the hard of hearing.

The venue, which is also open to people who can hear, was set up by deaf entrepreneur Paul Cripps, 31.

He said: “I’ve had problems ordering drinks, talking to fellow clubbers and sometimes even getting into clubs.

“The Deaf Lounge is open to both the deaf and non-deaf.

“For example, the bar will play music as that’s really important to attract non-deaf customers.”

The bar, in Seven Sisters, north London, also holds salsa, Zumba and DJ workshops for deaf people.
