The NCHA is the representative professional body for community hearing care providers across the UK. We work with the broader hearing sector, governments hearing care and work with our members and stakeholders to improve access to high-quality hearing care for all.
In a statement from the Chair Lynda Oliver said “In 2020 the infectivity and virulence of Covid-19 took everyone by surprise across the European health region, including the UK and
Ireland. It led to the suspension of routine healthcare, including eye and hearing care services. The level of infections and mortality brought unprecedented disruption, fear and uncertainty for everybody in our sectors.”
