Helping You Hear

All Hearing Aid Care & Maintenance Drop-ins are closed due to Coronavirus. To find out how to get replacement batteries, wires and domes, or have broken aids repaired, please follow the link for the LATEST INFORMATION

Dumfries and Galloway Hard of Hearing Group aim to help those with a hearing loss to maintain their hearing. We offer over 34 drop-in sessions per month, based over 20 locations spread throughout the region, so we hope you will be able to find one near you.

All our drop-in sessions are run by our fully trained volunteers who offer:

Care and maintenance of hearing aids to ensure they are working properly
Advice and Support regarding hearing aid maintenance and managing hearing loss in the local community

In addition to our drop-in sessions our volunteers also visit care homes across the region and provide home visits to those unable to attend our drop-in sessions.

We are a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation and we are reliant on volunteers who are critical to the continued provision of our service. We are forever grateful for the wonderful job they do.
