Hearing Services - Ear Impression

If you would like hearing aids to help with your child’s hearing, we will take impressions of their ears. This involves checking the ears with a light, then putting a sponge into the ear to act as a plug, then filling the ear with some medical putty that will set within a few minutes. Once everything is ready, we will take it out of the ear and give the ear one final check with the torch. We have different moulds and colours available to suit your child’s preferences.

Opening times
The department is open from 8.30am to 5pm, Monday to Thursday, and 8.30am to 4.30pm Friday. Saturday mornings on an ad-hoc basis.

How to get a referral to us
If you are concerned about your child’s hearing, please see your GP, school nurse, health visitor or speech and language therapist for a referral to Hearing Services (Audiology).
