Patients in audiology are benefiting from being seen quicker thanks to group fitting sessions. A pilot took place this month at Scunthorpe General Hospital and saw 59 patients fitted with hearing aids in a day. The pilot, which was inspired by a similar project at Newcastle Upon Tyne, gave patients the option to either wait to be seen for over 14 weeks to get fitted with their new hearing aids, or attend a group fitting appointment which had a much shorter waiting period.
