CORONAVIRUS UPDATE
The RUH audiology department have provided the following information for those patients who have hearing aids provided by the RUH:
RUH hearing aid cleaning and retubing for those who can post their hearing aids
RUH hearing aids can be sent to the RUH to be cleaned and retubed as the normal cleaning /retubing clinics are not being run during the coronavirus pandemic.
Patients are asked to please send their book in or send us a note with their details (name, date of birth, return address.)
RUH hearing aid cleaning and retubing for those who cannot post their hearing aids
If patients are unable to post their hearing aids to the RUH, they can instead contact RUH audiology by phone or email and tubes will then be sent out to patients so they can retube themselves.
The following videos will help those patients who need to clean and retube their hearing aids themselves:
