Audiology

Audiology is concerned with the assessment and rehabilitation of hearing and balance disorders.

Our audiology department provides a comprehensive adult and children's service situated in a number of clinics in Swansea and Neath Port Talbot.

The audiology department works closely with other health professionals.

• If you are concerned that you or your child may have a hearing problem, you must make an appointment with your GP first.

Your GP can refer you directly to audiology or via the ENT (ear, nose and throat) department.

• If you are already a hearing aid user and feel that your hearing has altered you do not need to be referred by your GP. Instead arrange for your hearing aid to be checked at one of our hearing aid repair clinics, details below:

There are a number of ways you can access the hearing aid repair service: open access walk-in clinics with no appointment required, by appointment only or postal repairs. You can send your hearing aid with a description of the fault in a strong, padded envelope making sure to include a stamped addressed envelope for its return. Please send to Audiology Department, Corridor Three Out Patients Department, Singleton Hospital, Sketty, Swansea, SA2 8QA. This service is also available to Ystradgynlais patients.
