Description

This is an exciting time to join our Audiology team with the opportunity to work in our new state of the art Sight and Sound Centre, which opened in Summer 2021.

It will be the first dedicated medical facility for children with sight and hearing loss in the UK and includes specialist facilities for outpatients being seen by Audiology, Cochlear Implant, Ophthalmology and Ear, Nose and Throat.

Audiological medicine is a medical specialty providing diagnosis and management of patients with disorders of hearing and balance. Hearing problems also include tinnitus and auditory processing disorders.

A range of technology is used to assist patients with hearing deficits including digital hearing aids, bone anchored hearing aids, cochlear implants and vibrotactile aids.

The team of audiologists, clinical scientists and audiovestibular physicians provide an integrated service.

We see patients as young as newborns right through to their late teenage years, and accept referrals from both within the hospital and from external consultants.

We provide a routine service for the fitting of digital hearing aids, being a second wave site on the NHS national Modernising Hearing Aid Services programme.
