AUDIOLOGY patients will now be able to drop into a community clinic in Penketh for information and advice, re-tubing of hearing aid ear moulds and collection of spare parts and batteries.

Staff at the Warrington Hospital department hope the new service will make it easier for patients to get hearing aid repairs, spares and advice.

The Penketh Clinic will be held on the first Friday of the month and patients need to present their brown record book. Complex repairs still require an appointment.
