Middleton opticians celebrates launch of new hearing hub

Specsavers Middleton marked the opening of its new hearing hub with balloons, cupcakes and goodybags for customers alongside free hearing screenings.

The opening comes following an increased demand for hearing care in the area, with the new hub offering services seven days a week. The store now has more dedicated testing space and increased availability to test, doubling the number of available appointments.

Offering both NHS and private hearing care, staff have undergone training to deliver a range of audiology services – including hearing tests, hearing aid fittings and ear wax removal – using the very latest in industry technology.

Razwana Mahmood, audiology partner at Specsavers Middleton said: ‘We’re super excited to finally open our doors to help support those with hearing loss across the local community.

‘Monitoring hearing health is extremely important. Untreated hearing loss can result in cognitive decline, depression and social isolation.

‘Now with the increased capacity, we can reach more people and provide this essential service.’

Sign language specialist Lorenza Pye from Eliza Says was also at the launch event, speaking to the public about how she helps children and parents within the community learn sign language.
