Bexleyheath audiologists turn up the volume to mark National Audiology Awareness month
VISITORS to the Broadway learnt more about the importance of hearing health when Specsavers Bexleyheath hosted a two-day community event to mark the start of National Audiology Awareness Month.
The locally owned and run hearcare team welcomed shoppers and residents to take part in activities designed to raise awareness of hearing loss and encourage people to take positive steps to look after their hearing.
Joseph Ford, Specsavers Bexleyheath store manager and audiologist says: ‘We wanted to focus on the importance of hearing health, particularly as hearing loss can really impact on someone’s lifestyle.
‘October provides a great opportunity to highlight how important caring for your ears, taking preventative action and generally being mindful of protecting your hearing is for people of all ages.
Visitors were invited to complete a free three-minute hearing screener, giving them an indication of their hearing health, while hearing technology specialist Sharon Carmen from Signia was on hand to discuss the latest innovations in hearing devices.
Specsavers Big Ear Mascot supported the two-day event posing with passers-by and entertaining younger visitors, whilst handing out goody bags which included trolley key rings, pens, hand warmers, mints, seeds and voucher offers.
Specsavers Bexleyheath has a dedicated audiology centre, offering customers a state-of-the-art room equipped with the latest soundproof technology and specialist audiology equipment.
Free hearing checks are also available to customers and are a quick and efficient way for the team’s hearing experts to assess their hearing and identify whether they may benefit from a full hearing assessment.
The store offers a wide selection of hearing devices, a dedicated aftercare service as well as ear wax removal. It also provides options for a range of hearing protection for activities such as swimming, music, work, cycling or sleep plugs.
