The NHS does not publish hearing test waiting times for individual hospitals. This figure is for The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust, which runs Royal Shrewsbury Hospital, and it is the current hearing test queue that applies to you here — the list as it stands this month, not a prediction.
