Audiology

Our dedicated, skilled and experienced audiologists provide a comprehensive Audiology and Hearing Aid Service across County Durham and Darlington. We offer both adult and paediatric services covering hearing testing, hearing aids, hearing therapy, tinnitus, balance and dizziness, and bone anchored hearing aids.

Services are delivered via our main centres at the University Hospital of North Durham and Darlington Memorial Hospital. A number of clinics also take place at various other locations within the community, including Bishop Auckland Hospital, Shotley Bridge Hospital, Chester-le-Street Community Hospital, Richardson Hospital (Barnard Castle), and Sedgefield Community Hospital.

We are open from Monday to Saturday, with appointments ranging from 8.00am - 6.00pm, reception is open from 8.30am - 5.00pm Monday to Friday. We aim to offer as much flexibility as possible.

Lost Hearing Aids - If you have lost your hearing aid or ear mould or carelessly damaged it beyond repair (e.g. dog chewed) you will be charged for this to be replaced. Please contact reception to arrange an appointment.

Info Point

** IMPORTANT INFORMATION **  From 01/01/2020 we will no longer be offering an open access repair service at any County Durham & Darlington NHS Foundation Trust sites. From this date patient's will need to contact Audiology to make an appropriate booked appointment. Patient's will no longer be seen without an appropriate booked appointment.  

We also offer a postal tubing service, where the appropriate tubing will be posted direct. Patient's must contact the Audiology Department for this to be arranged.

We offer a Direct Access NHS Hearing Aid Issue Service for anyone aged 18 years and over via a GP referral. All patients are assessed within 6 weeks and will have their hearing aid issued within a further 12 weeks.
