You can call the clinic at (206) 543-5440 and request an application for services, or come by the clinic in person and pick up an application.
 

What happens after I return an application?
  Once we receive your application for services it is given to the appropriate staff member for review.
   
How long does it take before I am contacted?
  Once your application has been received, you will be contacted within 48-72 hours to discuss your specific needs, and possible services in our clinic. If you have not been contacted by us, please call the clinic at 206-543-5440 to confirm that your application has been received.
 
When is the clinic open? 
 

We are open 8:00 am to 5:00 pm Monday thru Friday. The clinic is open during the four academic quarters of the year, and closed for holidays and vacation breaks observed by the University of Washington.

The Hearing Aid Fitting and Dispensing program maintains “on-call” office hours during vacation breaks.

Do I need a referral to be seen in the clinic?
  You can be seen at the clinic without having a referral from an outside clinic or doctor's office.
 
Can I be turned down for service?
  In general, all applications are accepted. In some rare cases, we may determine that a client would be better served elsewhere in the community and will make an appropriate referral at that time.

Does your clinic accept credit cards for payment?
