Free Hearing Tests this week

The free tests will be provided by Hidden Hearing Northern Ireland at Rockfield Medical Centre on 73-75 Doury Road.

Hearing Action Week is a national awareness campaign run by Hidden Hearing Northern Ireland highlighting the issue of hearing loss.

This year the campaign will focus on encouraging people to take action on their hearing loss, highlighting that some people delay for up to 15 years in addressing the issue.

A host of initiatives will be held during the week making it easier for people to take action. These include a mobile hearing screening clinic visiting towns and cities across the province offering free hearing screenings.

A website www.hearingactionweek.org has been set up to provide tips and advice of hearing loss, details of the mobile clinic itinerary and an online hearing test.

Hidden Hearing Northern Ireland will also be providing free hearing tests at each of its 11 clinics during the week.
