Teachers of the Deaf
What the Service Does: The Teachers of the Deaf support children and young people who have permanent deafness but the team also work with pupils who have a long term conductive/mixed hearing loss. If schools or parents suspect a hearing loss, they can contact their GP and ask for a referral to audiology. If a diagnosis and aiding occurs, audiology will make a referral to the Teachers of the Deaf. If schools have a pupil who moves into their school with hearing aids or cochlear implants they should refer directly to the Teachers of the Deaf.
Age Range: Birth to school leaving age.
How to Access: Referrals should be made by Paediatric Audiology based at Edinburgh Royal Hospital for Children and Young People. Schools may also refer using the contact details below.
