About us
The Children's Hearing Centre exists as part of a
multi-disciplinary team consisting of clinical scientists,
audiologists, audiology assistants and administrative support. We
assess, manage and treat children of all ages and abilities,
including children with complex additional needs, in a timely and
efficient manner. We liaise closely with our colleagues in
the Newborn Hearing Screening Programme (NHSP), ENT doctors, the
adult audiology team and the education support service for hearing
impaired children to ensure a thorough and smooth service is
provided for all children.
Our opening hours are 8:30am to 5pm, Monday to Friday. We are
closed on weekends and on bank holidays.
