These drop in sessions provide new batteries and ear mould tubing for NHS hearing aids; information on how to use and clean your hearing aids; and information on hearing loss and all the services that can help you. You can also have your hearing checked, but it should be noted this is not a hearing test. The service is run by trained volunteers and funded by the Health & Social Care Board.
