Description

Croydon Hearing Resource Centre is a unique local charity providing a range of services to people who are hard of hearing. For over 38 years it is the only voluntary organisation that provides invaluable free long-term practical and emotional support for NHS hearing aid wearers in Croydon.

As well as initial hearing tests, we carry out comprehensive ear checks and clean, maintain and re-tube existing hearing aids. In addition to our main Centre in Croydon, we operate 8 drop-in surgeries across the borough and offer a crucial home visiting service for the housebound.

We provide assistive equipment for the home via Croydon Council and we can arrange vibrating smoke alarms through the Fire Service.

We provide;
• Free batteries for NHS hearing aids
• Free re-tubing of hearing aids
• Free checks on NHS hearing aids which are broken or faulty
• Free help and advice if you have a new hearing aid
• Free hearing screening tests for people without hearing aids
• Free emotional support

We also provide:
• Free advice and assessments for assistive equipment at home
• Free home visits - for housebound residents (includes full assessment plus initial hearing tests)
• Free, drop-in surgeries around the Borough for those unable to reach Stafford House
• A Social Group which meets weekly
