Self-referral enables you to access our hearing services without having to visit your GP first. If you think you have a hearing loss, all you need to do is enquire in store or call us to see if you are eligible for an NHS-funded test. We will be able to book your NHS appointment for you if you can provide details regarding your NHS number (this can be found on a prescription or by asking your GP practice).

Try another postcode

For patients whose GP surgery falls under a North Staffordshire postcode, their eligibility for NHS funded hearing aids will be determined by the audiologist during the assessment.

Why choose Specsavers?

Our Hearing Centres meet the highest standards required to provide NHS funded services. At Specsavers, you can get
the hearing care you need, when you need it:

  • Appointment times to suit you, including weekends
  • Convenient locations - over 340 Audiologists delivering NHS services
  • You’ll be seen within 11 days of being referred by your GP
    on average*
  • 99% of our NHS customers would recommend Specsavers for their hearing aids*

No waiting for your hearing aid

We can fit your hearing aids on the same day as your hearing assessment in most cases. And when you want new batteries, or have a question, you can just pop in to your local Audiologists any time without having to book.

Frequently asked questions about the NHS service

What hearing aids are available on the NHS?

The NHS has significantly improved the technology available and will now provide a NHS funded digital hearing aid system which is small and sits behind the ear. NHS hearing aids will help most people to hear more clearly.

Can I come straight to Specsavers for an NHS funded hearing aid?

No, you need to check to see if you live in an area where the NHS has accredited Specsavers and that you meet the age restriction for the service. You then need to be referred by your GP, who may be able to contact us directly or they will let you know how to get in touch with us.

What’s the difference between NHS hearing aids and buying privately?

You get the same professional consultation, aftercare and support. The only difference is the choice of styles and technology available.

Who do I see?

At Specsavers, you will only ever be seen by a qualified hearing professional. Our services are available at Specsavers stores and sometimes in other locations if we can make the service more accessible in the community.

What about aftercare?

We will arrange follow-up appointments and make sure your hearing aids work effectively, just as we would if you had purchased them.
