NHS hearing aids Dover

Hearbase is working in partnership with the NHS to provide you with a free hearing aid and follow-up aftercare. You need to be referred by your GP who will give you a letter. This contains the information you will need to give us when you ring to arrange your appointment.

These are the steps:

  1. Ask your GP to refer you to Hearbase at White Cliffs Medical Centre to be assessed for your NHS hearing aid.
  2. If your GP sends your referral to us by email we will contact you, normally by telephone, within 48 hours to arrange an appointment for you. If you are referred by Choose and Book your GP will give you a letter and you will need to telephone us to arrange the appointment.
  3. We will normally arrange an assessment appointment within a few weeks when you will have a hearing test and your hearing aid options will be discussed.
  4. You will normally be given an appointment to be fitted with your hearing aid within two to three weeks. At this appointment you will be given all the information you need to get you started with the hearing aid. This includes how to get used to it, how to operate it and how to look after it.
  5. We will arrange to contact you to check that everything is going well with your hearing aid and to make follow-up appointments.

You can contact us at any time if you need further advice or support.
