AIHHP - Who are we?

The association of independent hearing healthcare professionals (AIHHP) is a group of leading hearing aid audiologists who are committed to promoting and maintaining the very highest professional and ethical standards in hearing healthcare provision within the private sector. Membership is by invitation only. It is applicable only to fully qualified independent hearing aid audiologists operating full time centres, dedicated to serving the needs of the hearing impaired of all ages.

By accepting the responsibility of membership each practitioner has agreed to deliver an exemplary, unbiased service in audiological assessment, independent advice, expert fitting of hearing instruments and the security of quality long-term aftercare. Mandatory ongoing training programmes in new technology ensures that patients can confidently receive the most up-to-date help available.

The Association's strict Code of Practice sets standards that exceed those required of other hearing aid dispensers. Every registered member has adopted defined procedures in hearing healthcare practice management, using only the highest specification testing equipment in consulting rooms and demonstrating knowledge of the most sophisticated, state-of-the-art hearing instrument systems.

The Association of Independent Hearing Healthcare Professionals is recognised by the Government and is amongst those consulted during national policy changes in hearing healthcare.

AIHHP members do not represent any one particular company - they can choose from the world's leading manufacturers to recommend the exact products to meet individual hearing needs.
