Wax removal in Darlington, Richmond and Horden
While this might come as a surprise, a build-up of excess ear wax can be a significant cause of muffled hearing, ear pain, or even hearing loss. If you are a hearing aid user, you could be especially susceptible to this. During your free hearing check, your audiologist will advise whether you may benefit from ear wax removal. This can be carried out onsite, using face mask friendly devices, and easily ease some of those ear issues.

Audiologist
Professional
After starting as an optical apprentice at the age of 16 I quickly found my love for audiology and became a HCA, moving on to complete my degree as a hearing aid dispenser. I have worked for both NHS and private. In more recent years I have focussed on solely private hearing care. The pace of work privately allows us to spend all the time we need with our patients to ensure the most premium and quality service is provided. My main focus is always my patient, I get great pleasure from helping people.
Health and Personal
Outside of work I am very family orientated and spend all of my time with my partner, friends and family. I have recently started going to a bootcamp which has given me some focus outside of work to do something for myself.
