Hidden Hearing, a UK leader in private hearing healthcare for 40 years, is bringing leading experts; Tony Vaughan RHAD, Michael Colclough RHAD and Bill Behich RHAD to Jersey this month to run a free, specialist hearing clinic. All are fully trained in the latest technology and techniques for hearing assessment and will be on hand throughout the three day event, which is being held at Longueville Manor from Monday 12^th July – Wednesday 14^th July 2010, to offer advice on every type of hearing system available, tailoring their advice specific to each attendee’s assessment.

These sessions coincide with the release of industry research that shows that there are almost nine million hearing impaired people in the UK, and this number is on the rise (Royal National Institute of Deaf People).  Statistics also highlight that one in seven people in the UK are deaf or hard of hearing therefore strengthening the importance of early detection, assessment and management of hearing problems as vital to personal, educational and social achievement in the longer term. Hearing defects affect the quality of life of millions of Britons, but the technology now exists to improve their situation dramatically. 

100 islanders will be given an opportunity to attend the Hearing Health Awareness event with Hidden Hearing so those interested should call Freephone 08007316499 to book their place.
