Paul Checkley and Matthew Allsop were delighted to take part in an Ear and Technology Study Day, at the Royal College of Surgeons, on Saturday. They presented a workshop for the extended wear, totally invisible hearing aid ‘Lyric’; which included live demonstrations of the Lyric’s fitting procedure. Ear, Nose, and Throat Consultants, and Audiologists, from all over the country attended. The day’s topics included the latest in hearing technology, balance equipment and surgical instruments.
Always use custom-made ear plugs for snoring, swimming, loud music or noise to avoid painful damage. Ear, Nose & Throat Consultant, Mr Michael Wareing recommends them in this article from the Daily Mail showing the dangers of putting things in your ears, the trauma of sorting out the problem and the speed of microsuction.
Prevention is always better, and less painful, than the cure. Call Harley Street Hearing and Musicians Hearing Services for our next available appointment for custom-made earplugs and/or microsuction. We can normally see you within 24 hours.
