Children's Hearing Centre

The Children's Hearing Centre exists as part of a multi-disciplinary team consisting of clinical scientists, audiologists, audiology assistants and administrative support. We assess, manage and treat children of all ages and abilities, including children with complex additional needs, in a timely and efficient manner. We liaise closely with our colleagues in the Newborn Hearing Screening Programme (NHSP), ENT doctors, the adult audiology team and the education support service for hearing impaired children to ensure a thorough and smooth service is provided for all children.

Our opening hours are 8:30am to 5pm Monday to Friday. We are closed on weekends and on bank holidays.

We hope this website will cover all the information you may need in advance of your visit to the CHC and for the continued support of your child.
