Audiology at Royal Derby Hospital and Florence Nightingale Community Hospital
The adult audiology service provides a range of audiological tests, including diagnostic hearing assessments, balance assessments and offers tinnitus counselling, hearing therapy and balance rehabilitation.
Access to this service requires a referral from your General Practitioner to the Ear, Nose and Throat department (ENT), or another discipline within the hospital who can then directly refer to the adult audiology department.
The department assesses, diagnoses, and manages the hearing needs of the adult population in Southern Derbyshire with complex needs.
