Hearing Support at The Old Bookshop

Our Bookshop also houses a drop-in hearing support centre offering advice and support for people with a hearing loss.

We can help you with your hearing aids; providing batteries, re-tubing, fault finding and advice. We can also give you general support & advice about your hearing loss and provide resources if you need any additional assistance.

We're always happy to help, so pop in and see us - You're always welcome
