Our Services A - Z - Audiology

About the service

The audiology team works closely with ear, nose and throat (ENT) consultants and physiotherapists to provide assessment and treatment for people with hearing loss and balance disorders.

We provide diagnostic and rehabilitation services, including balance tests, using state of the art equipment. A full hearing aid service is offered at both our hospital sites and at Formby clinic.

We also treat gradual hearing loss and tinnitus over the age of 40 as a direct referral from your GP, and run booked sessions for repair and maintenance of hearing instruments.

Opening times

The audiology departments at both Southport and Ormskirk hospitals are only offering a postal service for hearing aid batteries and tubing.

The drop-in repair service has stopped and is replaced with a booked repair system. Please phone the department to arrange your booked repair time slot.

Phone lines are open at both Southport and Ormskirk departments at the following times:

Monday to Friday from 09.30am to 12noon and 1.00pmto 3.00pm

In order to offer you a safe and efficient service please contact the department before travelling to ensure we can provide you with the most appropriate service.

Thank you for your cooperation.
