Audiologist receives praise for work
Friday 24th October 2008
A UK audiologist has been praised for his contribution to the field.
During a recent ceremony, Lisa Binns-Smith was crowned Audiologist of the Year, the Wakefield Express reports.
The medical expert was nominated by one of her patients whom she had helped adjust to a new hearing aid.
Dawn King, who was having trouble hearing, was able to return to her job as a district nurse as a result of the treatment she received.
Ms Binns-Smith beat off competition from 500 other people across the country to achieve first place.
The 33-year-old said: "I absolutely love what I do because it's so rewarding when people say they have heard their grandchildren talking for the first time and that it has improved their lives."
In other news, figures produced recently by the Department of Health suggested that while waiting times for key diagnostic tests among NHS patients are falling, those for audiology assessments make up the highest proportion of long waits.
