The NCHA is at the BAA conference today. Some great speakers. Proud to represent primary care audiology and talk about how collaboration with the wider sector can reduce waiting lists and improve access to hearing care.

When Audrey's GP stopped providing free ear wax removal, she found herself needing to pay for the service. But a negative experience discouraged her from returning or addressing her hearing loss.
Don't let ear wax impact your life. Help us #StopTheBlock: bit.ly/41Sr0pY
Millions of people in the UK are waiting too long for NHS help with their hearing because of an unsustainable model of hearing care. On #WorldHearingDay 2025, we call for equality of access to NHS-funded hearing care closer to home. Read more👉tinyurl.com/bd58zbjn
More than 13 million adults in the UK have a hearing loss that makes it hard to hear conversational speech without hearing aids. The NCHA supports the World Health Organisation’s campaign for better access to ear and hearing care. #WorldHearingDay #primarycareaudiology
How we hear in the future depends on how we care for our ears today. Early identification and access to care is essential to ageing well. We support the WHO's call to make ear and hearing care a reality for all. #WorldHearingDay #primarycareaudiology

My piece for @politicshome on my own hearing loss - and why we need to make audiology a primary care service to improve access and recognise that hospitals & GPs alone do not have the capacity to provide the volume of care needed for an ageing population.

We fully support @WHO in challenging misconceptions about hearing loss this #WorldHearingDay. Health systems should note > hearing aids are one of the most cost-effective interventions! the-ncha.com/flipbooks/pca/m… @ShellyChadha1
People with ear and hearing concerns face barriers to accessing NHS #HearingCare. This #WorldHearingDay, we are calling for an NHS-funded Primary Care Audiology service where people can see an audiologist closer to home. bit.ly/3wETKqz
