Most people who come to see us have noticed one or two of these:
✓
The TV goes up a little more each month
✓
You ask people to repeat themselves
✓
Busy cafés and family meals are tiring to follow
✓
Phone calls are harder than they used to be
✓
Someone at home has mentioned it
Not sure? That’s what the test is for. Around a quarter of the people we test don’t need hearing aids, and we’ll tell you if you’re one of them.
Sudden hearing loss in one ear? Don’t wait for an appointment with us. Contact your GP or NHS 111 the same day.
Ringing or buzzing in your ears? Mention it, and we’ll include it in your assessment.
