Hearing test (audiology) waiting times, hospital by hospital

Updated June 2026 · (the NHS diagnostics waiting-list return)

The NHS does not publish scan waiting times for individual hospitals. Each figure below is the current hearing test queue at the NHS trust that runs that hospital — the list as it stands this month, not a prediction. The headline is the median wait; the % is the share who have already waited more than six weeks, against an NHS standard that fewer than 1% should. Ranked shortest first.

Hospitals with no reported figure

These trusts do not report their hearing test (audiology) waiting times to NHS England, so we show no number. Each page explains why.

326 hospitals with a reported hearing test queue, plus 30 without. Each figure is the trust's current DM01 waiting list — a snapshot this month, not a prediction — and the NHS publishes one figure per trust, not per hospital.
