HPC & BSHAA

All the Leightons Hearing Aid Dispensers are governed by the Health Professional Council (HPC) and their professional standards.

Prior to HPC, the private hearing aid industry in the UK was governed by Hearing Aid Council which was disperesed in April 2010.

All Hearing Aid Audiologits or Hearing Aid Dispensers as they are sometimes referred to, adhere to the rules of conduct, ethical standards and procedures and are accountable to the HPC to meet national standards for professional training and performance.

BSHAA is the professional body which represents and promotes the interests of the independent hearing aid profession mainly within Great Britain and Northern Ireland but globally too.

BSHAA seeks to regulate professional and commercial standards through a code of practice and ensure that members (MSHAA) and fellows (FSHAA) are enrolled in a programme of continuing education maintaining and developing their knowledge of the rapidly expanding field of hearing aid technology.

All the Leightons Hearing Aid Audiologists are members of the BSHAA.
