Adult Audiology procedures during Covid-19 isolation

UPDATE: We are now performing video appointments. Find out more in the Video Clinics section of our website. 

Please be aware that Adult Audiology will have a reduced service providing urgent essential repairs to existing patient's hearing aids. Postal and booked appointments will be available.

To book an appointment or arrange a hearing aid repair, please contact us on: 0117 342 5854 (option 2 only) or email: audiology.dept@uhbw.nhs.uk 

Please also view the videos we have on this website which give clear instructions on cleaning and inserting hearing aids. Or check the c2Hear online videos https://c2hearonline.com/

Thank you for your understanding during this time.

We would like to bring to your notice, the Transcribe Live mobile application, which instantly transcribes spoken words into text. Available on the Google Play Store and the IOS App Store, this can be a very useful tool to aid communication.
