Audiologists take part in health campaign
Friday 3rd July 2009
People with audiology jobs in Watford are involved in a health campaign designed to improve the town's hearing.
According to reports in the Watford Observer, audio aid specialist Amplifon is offering free hearing tests in the hope that they will encourage people to have their ears assessed.
Audiologist Colin Seage said: "Our environment is becoming louder and people are unaware of the damage that could have already been done to their hearing."
He added that the importance of having hearing checked cannot be over-emphasised.
People who take advantage of the free assessments currently being offered receive a hearing test, ear examination and video otoscopy, which shows the inside of the ear on a colour screen.
A multi-national company, Amplifon is based in Milan and has a network of around 2,600 outlets.
As well as Italy and the UK, the firm has operations in the US, the Netherlands, France, Spain, Hungary and Egypt, among other places.
