Our Volunteers run a bi-monthly session at this venue.
**Please note: Due to the Covid-19 Pandemic our Sessions are cancelled until further notice. To be added to our mailing list please email info@hearinghelpessex.org.uk with your location, so that we can let you know as soon as sessions are up and running again.**
These sessions take place on:

 

2nd Monday 2pm – 3pm; bi-monthly January, March, May, September & November

 
At these sessions our volunteers can clean and retube NHS Hearing aids with Moulds (not the Corda types) issued by Epping St Margaret’s Hospital, Addenbrooke’s Hosptial, Broomfield Hospital, Braintree Community Hospital and St Peter’s Hospital. Please remember to bring your brown NHS Hearing Aid record book with you when visiting the session.
 

We hope to be able to retube and maintain Corda style aids in the very near future. Please keep checking this page for updates on this service.

Session Dates for 2020 are:
11th May 2020
13th July 2020
14th September 2020

This is a walk in service for NHS hearing aid maintenance and we cannot issue batteries at these sessions. For further information on where you can obtain batteries please see the relevant information for your audiology department on the previous page.

UPDATE FROM HEARING HELP ESSEX

As we enter another difficult and challenging period with lockdown Hearing Help Essex is committed to ensuring that we keep our clients, volunteers and staff as safe as possible throughout the resurgence of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Over 500 individuals access our face to face services each month, and many of our Clients are considered to be in a vulnerable group identified by the World Health Organisation. Therefore, we are once again, following Government guidelines having to take the difficult decision to cancel our drop-in sessions, home visits, and All Ears events until further notice.

Please be reassured that we continue to closely monitor the Public Health authorities guidance to ensure that we keep our service users, volunteers, and staff safe.

We are pleased to say that we are able to operate a covid-safe service for NHS Hearing Aid Cleaning and Re-tubing currently at five venues across the County. These are strictly by appointment only and we cannot accept any ‘walk-in’ service users. The venue locations are:

Hearing Help Essex Resource Centre in Central Chelmsford (All Mid, West and South Essex Patients)

St Michael’s Hospital, Braintree (Mid-Essex Patients)

Plantation Hall, Heybridge (Mid-Essex Patients)

Dipple Medical Centre, Pitsea (Basildon/Orsett Patients)

Stansted Free Church, Stansted (West Essex Patients)

Please contact us on info@hearinghelpessex.org.uk if you would like an appointment for NHS Hearing Aid re-tubing, cleaning, and basic maintenance at the Resource Centre with the following details.

Full name, address, date of birth, telephone number
Preferred day & time of appointment
How many hearing aid/s
Type of aid – mould made to fit your ear or Open Fit (small dome in the ear)
Hospital where aid/s issued
Reason for requesting an appointment.

If you would prefer to call us to discuss our telephone number is 01245 496347 or text on 07950 406173. Our phone lines are quite busy at the moment so the quickest way to contact us is via email. 

If you think your hearing needs testing, or if your hearing aids need adjusting, or you need an ear mould etc. please do contact your hospital Audiology department direct to discuss this.

As usual, our service remains completely free of charge to access, but as a small charity working hard to support residents of Essex living with hearing loss, all donations are appreciated.

Further updates will be posted on our website www.hearinghelpessex.org.uk and also on our social media channels.

WE CONTINUE TO PROVIDE A TELEPHONE, TEXT, EMAIL, LIVE CHAT, AND SOCIAL MEDIA INFORMATION, ADVICE, AND GUIDANCE SERVICE TO THOSE IN NEED.

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, OR REQUIRE ADVICE ABOUT MANAGING YOUR HEARING LOSS, OR HEARING AID MAINTENANCE, PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE TO CONTACT OUR FRIENDLY TEAM.
