Hi, my name is Eliza195!

Hi, I am just looking for some help, I was diagnosed with severe to profound deafness in both ears a number of years ago and was wondering if I am entitled to any benefit . I'm 61 yrs

Scope also has an explanation of this & other benefits: https://www.scope.org.uk/advice-and-support/benefits/
Hope this helps, & do say if you have any questions.
Every person's entitlement to benefits is different and it can depend on many more factors than just a diagnosis, you might find this page about benefits from Action On Hearing Loss helpful.
Scope also have a benefits checker which can help to work out entitlement.
We also have a category here on the community to discuss hearing and visual impairments, so I would recommend having a look there too
