The details of where we operate are listed in Service Finder.
We supply and fit ReSound Ambio – modern, digital hearing aids that can be remotely controlled with a smartphone. We provide worry-free repair and aftercare including free battery, tube and dome replacement. Our care is provided free of charge to adult NHS patients who live in Wakefield or Kirklees.
If nonsurgical treatment does not relieve your symptoms or provides only temporary relief, your clinician may recommend surgery.
The decision of whether to recommend surgery is based on:
In long-standing cases with constant numbness and wasting of your thumb muscles, surgery may be recommended to prevent irreversible damage. Surgery may also be recommended if you do not get relief with non-operative treatments and/or demonstrate significant nerve changes on testing.
Following the successful treatment of your condition, you will be discharged from our service back to the care of your GP. However, you may experience a flare-up of the condition at some point in the future. Our service enables you to self-refer back into an SOS Appointment for up to 12 months after we have discharged you. This is only available for the same condition, but will save you having to go back to your GP and will improve the speed with which you can get an appointment.
