This statistical bulletin presents information on hearing aid assessments and re-assessments by audiologists in Northern Ireland. Information has been derived from the quarterly collection AUD1 and monitors information on both adults and children fitted and assessed for hearing aids during the quarter, complaints received, and cost of hearing aids issued. In addition, the collection monitors complete and incomplete waits for assessment during the quarter and the length of time patients were waiting or had waited following referral to an audiologist (specified time bands).

We would welcome any comments you would like to make concerning Community Information Branch Publications. Please take the time to complete our short questionnaire.

As of March 2010 this statistical bulletin is published for quarter ending 31st March only.

Details of the next publication are available in the IAD calendar which can be found on the IAD publications page.
