I originally had a hearing test booked for the mid November and fitting of a new mould at Newport cottage hospital. This appointment was arranged some 4-6 weeks previously. When I arrived for my hearing test I was advised they would not carry out the test, as protocol had changed the week prior to my appointment. I was told I would have to get my GP to refer me. I believe my original appointment for a hearing test should have been honoured. Why my GP has to refer me is beyond me, as I have two hearing aids and my hearing is not going to suddenly improve. This new system means I have to wait 4 months for a hearing test. I have not been advised or given a choice regarding this appointment.
I wrote to the head of audiology regarding my hearing difficulties and still not had a response.
