Primary care audiology \u2013 accessible ear and hearing care for all<\/strong>
\nThe NCHA, part of the FODO Group, has published Primary care audiology \u2013 accessible ear and hearing care for all<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It sets out the clinical and economic evidence for an NHS-funded primary care audiology to be made available to more people across the UK.<\/p>\n

The NCHA contends that: Millions of people across the UK with hearing loss, earwax, tinnitus and other audiological issues cannot get the NHS support they need. This has become a major and growing public health challenge impacting all aspects of individuals\u2019 lives, work and wellbeing.<\/p>\n

The private payments for such tasks are often more than three times the value of the NHS funded sight examination.<\/p>\n
