If you have an appointment with us, we can make it easier for you:

  • We can schedule extended appointment times to make sure that all information is thoroughly explained and understood.
  • You may have your appointment in a private and quiet meeting room.
  • If you have a support worker, they are welcome to accompany you.
  • You may take paperwork home to review and make decisions at your convenience and then return to complete the necessary actions.
  • Appointments can also be conducted from your home by video call.

In a branch

Our branches are equipped with induction loop and voice enhancement systems to make your visit more comfortable.

You'll find clear signs in each branch showing where these systems are located, along with easy instructions to switch your hearing aid to the T setting.

And don't worry, assistance dogs are always welcome in all our branches.
