What is a hearing aid follow up?
A hearing aid follow up appointment is usually arranged within 10 weeks of your hearing aid fitting. It is to check how you are managing with your hearing aids. This will be either with an assistant audiologist or an audiologist.
What will happen at the hearing aid follow up?
We will ask you questions about how well you feel you hear with your new hearing aids and complete a short questionnaire with you
We will listen to any concerns or problems and try to resolve them
We can offer hearing counselling or signpost to other agencies/suppliers of equipment for the hard of hearing
We will explain future care and maintenance needs of your hearing aids. This will include how and where to obtain replacement batteries
What will happen after the hearing aid follow up?
We recommend that you arrange an appointment with the department every five to six months for routine maintenance. If you are experiencing problems with your hearing aid before you are due for maintenance, you can contact the department to arrange a sooner appointment.
