Hearing Aid Repair Service

To access our repair services please take a numbered ticket from the corridor outside Audiology reception or next to reception and take a seat.

Repair service is for any issues concerning your hearing aids.

Tubing for hearing aids need to be service every 6-9 months as the plastic deteriorates over time which affects the sound quality.

If you need batteries and have taken a number for our repair service this will all be done in the repair session.

Batteries

Each battery should last roughly a week to 10 days. When your batteries have run out you can either discard them along with usual waste or take them to be recycled. The main high street grocery stores accept batteries for recycling.

Please bring your brown hearing aid book to the audiology reception. We can then issue you some new batteries.

If you cannot attend the hospital personally you can still ask a family member or friend to collect batteries on your behalf providing they have your brown book.

Alternatively you can send your batteries and brown book in a padded envelope using a large first class stamp. You will need to provide an additional large first class stamp for the return postage.

Green cleaning wires will be issued in the back of you brown book. You can collect more from reception or repair service.
