Fame at last for Matt Cannon

January 27th, 2012

Audiologist Matt Cannon

Matt has been featured on YouTube talking about a piece of equipment all of our centres use. The AURICAL is an amazing new device which enables hearing aid dispensers to more closely program the hearing aid to the individual user’s hearing abilities. It also enables the patient to see exactly how much difference the programming makes, as there is a useful onscreen facility guiding them through. Watch the video below for Matt’s YouTube debut!

Look out for our next newsletter in the Spring for more information about how AURICAL can help you.

Rob and Ken plan visit to Kenya

January 20th, 2012

In our previous news update audiologist Matt Cannon had planned to visit the Reverend Muhoro School for the Deaf with Rob Davies. Unfortunately prior commitments have prevented this. Instead, Rob is lucky to have as his companion Ken Fairley, who works in both our Sevenoaks and Chichester branches.

Ken visited the school in 2010 and was inspired by how much impact our contribution, and the generous donations of others, make to not only the school, but also to the local community. This year Ken has organised a 6 mile swim at Dorney Lake near Eton to test his stamina and support the charity. In addition he is supporting the National Deaf Children’s Society (NDCS). We will have more details here soon so check back regularly!

You can support Ken by donating at your local branch or by making a BACS transfer. More details can be found on Ken’s blog www.kenfairley.blog.com We are sure it will prove to be an excellent read!

35m Brits can’t hear TV speech properly

January 18th, 2012

Finds research by Channel 4 and Widex

Having conducted a survey on the UK adult population, Channel 4 and Widex revealed that 71% of adults cannot always hear TV speech clearly. Apparently background music is proving intrusive to intelligibility and understanding. For the over 65′s, this figure equalled 76%.

The report then stated that this issue is related to a problem in initial recording, which then is worsened by overlaying music.

The BBC have launched an industry-wide training initiative to help resolve these issues.

Unfortunately, for some of us, the problem lies with our own hearing rather than the programme! If you’re not sure which is which, visit your nearest branch where our friendly audiologists will be happy to give you a hearing check.
