St Mark’s Community–Based

Monthly Hearing Aid Clinic
A Diocese of Guildford project in partnership with the NHS

Hearing aid aftercare in the community
It takes time to adapt to using hearing aids – getting used to new sounds as well as managing the hearing aids themselves.  If you don’t keep your hearing aids maintained, you won’t be able to hear as clearly.  Taking care of your hearing aids also means it will last longer and maybe save you unnecessary trips to your audiologist.  We understand that basic maintenance tasks can be tricky, but St Mark’s Hearing Champions can help you make the most of your hearing aids.

Who are hearing Champions?

       Hearing Champions are volunteers who have been trained by NHS audiology staff in the basics of hearing aid maintenance.  In addition, volunteers from the parish churches have been trained in safeguarding matters and have had appropriate police checks.

      What support do Hearing Champions offer?
Hearing Champions provide a range of services, including:

      Checking hearing aids are working properly
Retubing, ear mould cleaning and supply of new batteries

       Checking the filter of the hearing aid in the ear

Advice on maintenance frequency and cleaning of your hearing aid

Advice and support on making the most of your hearing aid

       Information and signposting to other services and useful equipment    

What’s the Cost?

       Nothing!  At St Mark’s the service is free and available to anyone with ‘behind the ear’ NHS hearing aids supplied by the Royal Surrey and Frimley Park hospitals.  Batteries and the provision of sundry supplies is funded by your local NHS Audiology Departments in partnership with the Diocese of Guildford.

       When is it?

Our hearing aid clinics coincide with our mini-market and café held on the first Saturday of every month.  Our opening times are 10am till 12 Midday.

      

       Where is it?

Our Hearing Aid Clinics are held in the Coussmaker Room in St Mark’s Church Hall
Do come and see us and enjoy a coffee or tea and delicious cake in the main hall too!
