All our hearing clinics will be closed for Christmas from 2 p.m. on Tuesday 24 December. We’ll be reopening at 9 a.m. on Thursday 2 January in England & Wales, and at 9 a.m. in selected clinics on Friday 3 January in Scotland.
How to test your hearing aid batteries
1. Drop your hearing aid battery onto a hard surface from about 15–20 cm (6–7 inches).
2. If your battery bounces several times, it needs replacing. A new battery should settle on the surface quickly.
