Home » Services » Audiology

The Audiology department provides a comprehensive hearing, tinnitus and balance service.

We also provide support to our Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) department providing diagnostic testing as requested. 

We undertake clinics for all ages including domiciliary and ward visits if required.

If you have any hearing concerns regarding yourself or your child, please ask your GP for advice. If required they will refer you directly to our audiology service. You will then be offered an appointment at the nearest and most suitable department for you offering the procedure you require.

We are open most days except Bank Holidays at the following times:

  • Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm
  • Saturday, 8.30am to 4.30pm

These dates and times can vary dependent on staffing and service needs.

All patients are seen by appointment only.


We no longer provide Any Qualified Provider (AQP) services.

Patients over 50 years of age who have been identified with a non-complex hearing loss may be discharged to another hearing aid service provider. If you are affected by these changes, we will be in contact with you or we will be discussing the changes during your next audiology appointment. 

You will still be able to access hearing aid services free of charge from a new provider.

We will continue to see patients who have been identified with a complex hearing loss.

  • Paediatric testing

    Does my child need a hearing test?

    Your child may need a hearing test if you have any of these concerns:

    • I feel my child doesn't always respond when called or talked to

    • My child has had severe earaches and/or several ear infections

    • I feel my child's speech isn't progressing

    • My child asks for things to be repeated or mishears what is being said

    • School or nursery has mentioned they feel he/she isn't hearing well

    • My child sits very close to the television and has to have the volume raised

    • I have to get their attention before I ask a question

    • If I call my child from another room they don't seem to hear me

    • I've had a letter from school saying that my child has failed a hearing test

    Hearing loss can affect not only a child’s speech and language development, but other areas of their development as well, so it’s vital to get it checked if you are worried. Your GP is your first point of contact – they will decide in consultation with you if you require to be referred to audiology or directly to ENT.
