"Audiology Department - time taken to receive..."

About: The Tunbridge Wells Hospital

Anything else?

Had a hearing test on 9th May 2013. Results indicated I need aids for both ears. Heard this morning that hearing aids will be available no later than 15th August. That is 14 weeks after the test. I find this totally unacceptable, in particular , as I saw on the NHS Choices website that the average is 4 to 5 weeks from first test to final fitting.
