Audiologist to promote hearing health in Bradford
Wednesday 2nd December 2009
An audiologist based in Bradford is to offer free hearing tests in an effort to promote the importance of managing aural health.
Dave Sutton suggested to local newspaper the Telegraph & Argus that hearing checks are often viewed by the public as not being as important as eye tests or trips to the dentist, but they can make a big difference to someone's life.
"I hope offering people a free hearing test will encourage people to get into the habit of regularly monitoring their hearing," he added.
Mr Sutton was recently named as a hearing aid audiologist at the local branch of Amplifon, the Milan-based multinational company that claims to be the world leader in its sector.
His role will involve raising aural health awareness in Bradford, as well as giving advice to the public on how to protect their hearing.
According to the 56-year-old, hearing loss currently affects around nine million people in the UK.
