FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE.

Change to drop-in service for Montrose hearing aid users

A new timetable has been introduced for a free service run by volunteers at Links Health Centre in Montrose to help hearing aid users.

From Friday, 8 June, the free drop-in re-tubing clinic and replacement battery service will run every second and fourth Friday morning from 10am until noon. The last Monday session will be held on Monday, 28 May.

The drop-in clinics are part of a Tayside-wide service which is being delivered by specially trained volunteers.

The volunteers have been trained by NHS Tayside’s Audiology Service and can replace the tubing in ear moulds and provide replacement batteries for NHS hearing aid users. Unfortunately volunteers are unable to re-tube open fit aids which have the thin wire with tip in ear.

It is important that hearing aid users bring along their yellow book as this is required to be produced to receive batteries.

For more information about this service, contact the Audiology Department at Kings Cross Health & Community Care Centre, Clepington Road, Dundee by emailing audiologydundee.tayside@nhs.net or call 01382 596965 or text 07833 046858.
