"Kind and professional service from audiology"

About: Royal Victoria Hospital / Audiology Hearing Aid Department

(as a relative),

My mother had private hearing aids but lost them. She was then admitted to RVH with a chest infection and UTI. Her GP did an urgent referral for NHS hearing aids which was arranged for July at RVH.

As she was in RVH I rang the audiology department and explained the situation. A very competent and professional practitioner Jessica understood the difficulties we had, and arranged an immediate appointment for her clinic.

She was kind and very considerate of the situation, arranged an immediate hearing test and provision of temporary devices. This has helped enormously with mums hospital stay.

She then went on to arrange a next day appointment with ENT department for ear wax removal and completed the necessary tests for permanent hearing aids.

The service and professionalism was outstanding and very much appreciated by the family. Thank you Jessica!

Dear falconjw45

Thank you for taking the time to let us know of your family's good experience when liaising with the RVH Audiology Department recently.

I'm delighted to hear that Jessica was able to help ensure your mum's hearing was prioritised whilst she was an inpatient on the RVH site, by expediting her appointment and organising ear wax removal and provision of temporary devices while she waited for her permanent hearing aids.

I do hope your mum is recovering well from her recent infections and that she receives her new aids soon.

I will ensure your lovely words are passed on to Jessica and her manager as the staff really appreciate it when they receive positive feedback from their service users.

Kind regards

Wendy Dobbin
