Did you know your hearing aid needs cleaning regularly, and needs re-tubing every 4-6 months for them to continue to work effectively?
Our NHS Hearing Aid Support Service (HASS) is at the heart of all we do.
Our friendly team are on hand to assist with essential re-tubing, cleaning and general hearing aid maintenance. If your hearing aids are due maintenance, if the tubing is brittle, cracked, blocked or damaged, please get in touch to book an appointment. If you are unable to come to see us in person, it is possible for someone else to bring the hearing aids to the appointment on your behalf. If you are housebound, shielding or immobile, please ask about our doorstep service.
