Hearing Loss Support in Cleobury Mortimer
Shropshire RCC are delighted to announce a new drop in repair clinic at St Mary’s Place Community Room Cleobury Mortimer, DY14 8PF (opposite Lacon Childe school). Information, help and advice is available to all NHS hearing aid users and in addition simple hearing aid repairs, retubing and maintenance is available for wearers of NHS hearing aids supplied by Shrewsbury or Telford hospital Audiology department.
The first Drop In will take place on Wednesday 4th October from 10-12 and will be held monthly on the 1st Wednesday thereafter.
Shropshire RCC works closely with NHS Audiology to comprehensively train the volunteers who staff this clinic. Vicky Sadler, Deputy Head of Audiology at Shrewsbury and Telford hospital, said ‘We can thoroughly recommend the Drop In clinic for patients who need retubing, advice or peer support with their hearing aids’.
As most of the trained volunteers are hearing aid wearers themselves they know from personal experience about adjusting to hearing loss. If there are multiple or more complex issues then you will be advised to contact NHS Audiology for an appointment.
