Description

Hearing loss is a common problem that often develops with age or is caused by repeated exposure to loud noises.



Action on Hearing Loss estimates that there are more than 10 million (about 1 in 6) people in the UK with some degree of hearing impairment or deafness.



We're experts in providing support for people with hearing loss and tinnitus.

Referral Criteria

When to see your GP See your GP if you're having problems with your hearing, or your child is showing signs of hearing difficulty. If you lose your hearing suddenly, in one or both ears, you must see your GP as soon as possible. Your GP can check for any problems and may refer you to an audiologist (hearing specialist) or an ENT surgeon for further tests. You can also visit the Action on Hearing Loss website for an online hearing test.
