Hearing Is Life
Healthy hearing is crucial to getting the most out of relationships, day-to-day activities and overall quality of life, writes Victoria Bamber
Preston Hearing Care Centre specialise in superior hearing care and use its six decades of experience to ensure patients are offered a personal and friendly service that’s worth tuning in to.
Nestled on Garstang Road in the heart of the city, Preston Hearing Care Centre is a world away from your typical hearing care provider. Stylishly decorated, with an air of warmth and relaxation, the environment is calm, welcoming and delightfully kitsch.
Providing the best hearing aids from the world’s leading manufacturers, as well as comprehensive hearing tests, healthcare services and earwax removal, the centre focuses on each individual’s needs and requirements, offering a bespoke and personalised service that takes clear precedence over sales and marketing.
“We take the time and energy to get to know our patients,” explains Ged Rowbottom, one of three audiologists at the centre. “Patient care is our priority, and we genuinely ensure the advice, information and products we offer are not only entirely suitable in terms of comfort and design but provide the best possible value for money.”
As well as taking into account lifestyle and budget, the team at Preston Hearing Care Centre place a huge focus on education and the science behind hearing loss and degeneration, which helps improve understanding not just for the patient, but for their families too.
“Often, when a person gets older and begins to experience notable hearing loss, this can affect relationships with partners and loved ones. At Preston Hearing Care Centre, we understand that hearing is life and when the quality of a person’s hearing decreases, unfortunately they can often find themselves lonely and isolated. Relationships can suffer and work can also become more difficult,” says Ged.
“As well as being mentally and physically exhausting, hearing loss has also been intrinsically linked to the onset of Alzheimer’s Disease, which is why it is so important for anyone experiencing problems with their hearing to talk to a professional. As well as being beneficial health wise, hearing aids will also drastically improve a person’s quality of life, which is, after all, the most important thing.”
With vast improvements to technology and innovation, Preston Hearing Care Centre stock all the latest in hearing aid design; catering to a range of budgets, needs and requirements. Rechargeable, mobile-operated, automatic or specially programmed; the team offer impartial, professional advice that is cost effective and satisfaction guaranteed.
The centre also goes out of its way to ensure patients are happy and well catered for, offering home visits and free trials, as well as aftercare appointments, coaching and a ‘drop in’ service.
“We do what we do because we genuinely make a difference to people’s lives,” explains Ged. “Of course, we are a business, but the difference improved hearing can make is profound and it’s an honour to play our part.”
Appointments are available with audiologists, Ged Rowbottom, Simon Bland or Nick Keighley.
