Audiology services at Christchurch Hospital include:
- hearing assessments for children
- hearing and balance assessments — for people of all ages who are under the care of the ear, nose and throat specialists
- ototoxicity monitoring — for people exposed to medications that can affect hearing
- follow up from the newborn hearing screening and early intervention programme.
Hearing aid services for children are provided offsite by the Children’s Hearing Aid Service. We can provide referrals to this service.
Hearing aid services for adults can be accessed in the community. You can self-refer to your local audiology clinic to be assessed for or get hearing aids.
