“Our team will also be on hand to guide you through what next steps you may have to take in regards to your hearing.”

People who already wear hearing aids are also encouraged to come along and chat to the team to talk about their devices and general hearing health.

As well as having a hearing check, visitors to the bus can find information on a range of common hearing issues and view a display of easy-to-use hearing devices for around the home.
