The issue of opening hours came up at the focus group of hearing aid users. I believe a few centres do offer an evening service.
Most patients prefer a community-based service, but it is a little more expensive to provide.
However, my suspicion is that these clinics do encourage people to persevere with their aids and keep then in good repair, and the resource savings here may outweigh the additional cost. However, we really need to conduct some studies into this. Use our Publications page instead.
