Frequently asked questions
Where can I get hearing aid batteries?
Batteries can be collected at some local GP surgeries upon production of your hearing aid battery record card that was issued to you with your hearing aids.
If you are not able to collect your batteries from your GP surgery, then a further supply of batteries can be sent to you upon request by contacting the Audiology Department on 0191 445 2532 or via email at ghnt.audiology@nhs.net.
