NHS Audiology and Local Authorities

We can work with audiology, county councils and London Boroughs who are interested in piloting and commissioning a Hearing Advisory Service.
Hearing Advisory Services are welcomed by both residents who use NHS hearing aids, and the audiology departments who dispensed the aids; we are a reliable point of referral for post-dispensing support. Our community based services provide care closer to home, free at the point of delivery, and take pressure off the local hospital estate with regards car parking, and on the audiology staff.
HHAS works with colleagues at a county level to contribute to Joint Strategic Needs Assessments, and nationally, to Government guidance.
