Hearing Support
Do you have problems with your hearing aid?
· Have you found managing your hearing aid more difficult than you
imagined?
· Is fitting the mould in your ear a problem?
· Did you find it hard to remember the instructions you were given
at the hospital when you were given your aid?
Adjustment to wearing a hearing aid takes time and some people take
longer than others getting used to them.
Free Service
The Hearing Support Service has a team of volunteers trained to
offer advice and support to hearing aid users. It doesn’t matter
whether you are a new user or have had a hearing aid for a number of
years, our volunteers are always ready to help.
Each Volunteer is a hearing aid user and is trained to carry out
simple maintenance on NHS hearing aids.
Our volunteers visit people in their own homes to offer help and
support. They will also clean the ear mould, give advice on regular
maintenance and help you fit the mould correctly. They can replace
faulty or old tubing between the mould and the hearing aid. They
will also show you how to change the batteries, give information on
where to obtain new batteries or explain the postal service.
Visit the Deaf Centre
On the second Wednesday of each month from 1:30pm - 4:30pm, a
volunteer from the Hearing Support Service will be at the Deaf
Centre on Railway Rd, King’s Lynn to assist with hearing aids
problems.
No appointment is necessary.
