The Musicians' Hearing Health Scheme is now booking hearing appointments for scheme registered musicians at selected clinics across the UK, subject to change in accordance with latest Government advice.

The Musicians’ Hearing Health Scheme is a partnership between Help Musicians, the Musicians’ Union and Musicians’ Hearing Services, offering hearing check ups, expert advice from an audiologist and a set of ACS PRO Series Custom Earplugs custom moulded to fit you for just £40 (£30 for MU members).

The scheme has adopted various measures according to government guidelines to help minimise risks of transmission of Covid-19, to help ensure your safety at your hearing appointment. Find out more about how these safety measures will work.
