Hearing Problems -
what to do
The first thing to do if you're having
problems with your hearing is to contact your GP.
They may want to rule out a blockage, a build up of wax
or an infection - all of which can be treated. If none of the above
apply, a referral to a specialist / audiologist may be required for
a more detailed examination.
An audiologist may recommend a hearing aid to be supplied and
fitted. He or she will guide you through the process and
demonstrate how to use your aid.
Hearing aid batteries and repairs
NHS hearing aids can be repaired and batteries replaced free of
charge, either by post or via collection at a range of health sites
in Newham. For further information contact ....
Support at home
