The UK Musicians' Hearing Health Scheme

I came across this scheme which is a great deal for UK-based musicians. Tinnitus Talk is not affiliated with the scheme - I just wanted to share this because this type of thing should ideally be available in more countries, too.

For a one-off payment of £40 (£30 for MU members), the Musicians' Hearing Health Scheme offers the following:

• An audiological assessment and ear check-up from a specialist in musicians' hearing (worth up to £100)
• One set of custom-made, ACS Pro Series plugs (worth £140+)
• A two-yearly callback, where appropriate, for a subsidised hearing test
• Expert advice on referral routes and next steps to manage any problems
• Option of wax removal, if necessary, at a subsidised rate of £40

How It Works
Eligibility​

@Ed209, were you aware of this scheme from before? I know you're a UK-based musician. I'm just wondering how well known this scheme is in the UK.

 

Some stats below, they seem to have re-launched the scheme earlier this year:

"With 2,800 musicians benefitting from the scheme since mid-2016 – entitling them to a specialist hearing assessment and bespoke hearing protection (over £200 in value for £40) – the charity is forecasting around 21,000 more musicians to take part by 2021."​
