Making a referral<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If your resident does not currently wear NHS hearing aids, ask their GP to make a referral to Audiology. 

Many people who can’t hear well but have no aids may have used NHS aids in the past but these have been lost.  Please consider contacting Audiology to check if they are under our care as we may be able to easily replace lost aids.

If they have NHS aids, contact the Audiology Department directly .

For all hearing aid repairs and yearly maintenance, contact Audiology directly. We do not send automatic reminders for hearing tests or maintenance.

If hearing aids are lost, please contact Audiology to arrange replacements.

If NHS hearing aids are no longer required, please return them to Audiology.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
