HEAR Centre
In Carlisle the HEAR (Hearing Equipment Advisory Resource) Centre on Cecil Street offers the opportunity for people to try out a range of equipment to improve the quality of life for people whose hearing is poor.
The HEAR Centre at 40/44 Chapel Court, Cecil Street, Carlisle exchanges NHS hearing aid batteries and is a source of general advice and support to older people who are hard of hearing. The Centre has a prominent frontage, disabled access and adequate parking facilities nearby.
