Ten years ago this week I packed my bags and headed to New York 🇺🇸✈️ with one clear purpose: to learn from one of the true pioneers in balance disorders, the late Dr Dai at Mount Sinai Hospital, New York.

At the time, Mal de Débarquement Syndrome (MdDS) was poorly understood and often dismissed. Patients were being told to “live with it”, with little hope of effective treatment. Dr Dai changed that. He challenged the narrative, pushed the science forward, and most importantly offered real hope to people whose lives had been turned upside down by persistent motion and dizziness.

Training with Dr Dai was a privilege. He was rigorous, generous with his knowledge, and utterly focused on the patient. That experience fundamentally shaped how I approach vestibular care to this day. The techniques and understanding I gained in New York still sit at the heart of how I help people living with complex balance conditions.

A decade on, I’m incredibly grateful for that opportunity and for Dr Dai’s legacy, which continues to help patients around the world even though he is no longer with us.

Some journeys stay with you forever. This was one of mine.

A bit about me and why professional standards matter at The Ear Clinic

When it comes to your hearing, tinnitus or balance, trust really matters. So I wanted to share a little about who you’ll see at The Ear Clinic.

I’m Chris Bowes, an HCPC and AHCS registered, educated at Manchester University to MSc level.

I’m a passionate Audiologist with 29 years’ experience.

I’ve spent:
• 24 years in the NHS, supporting patients with a wide range of complex hearing and balance needs

• Time as a Senior Lecturer at De Montfort University, training the next generation of Audiologists

• 3 years at Oticon, a global hearing aid company, as National Training Manager for the UK & Ireland, helping clinicians deliver best-practice, evidence-led care

Those registrations (HCPC and AHCS) aren’t just letters after a name they mean working to strict professional standards, staying up to date, and always putting patient safety and care first.

Whether you’re struggling with hearing loss, tinnitus, dizziness, balance issues or just want trusted advice, you’ll be looked after by someone who’s been doing this for a long time and genuinely cares about you.

Because your hearing and balance deserve experience, honesty and proper professional standards 👂

If you ever want to chat or book an appointment, I’m always happy to help.

“I can hear… I just can’t hear clearly.”

If you’re nodding, smiling, and guessing half of what’s being said you’re not alone.
And no, it’s not just people mumbling or the TV being badly mixed.

This is often one of the earliest signs you’re not hearing properly even if you’ve been told before that everything is “within normal limits”.

At The Ear Clinic, I see people every week who:

• Avoid social situations because it’s exhausting to keep up

• Struggle in background noise

• Feel dizzy or unsteady and don’t feel listened to

• Assume wax or “getting older” is the problem when it isn’t

This is exactly why I set up The Ear Clinic.

✔️ Independent hearing & balance assessments

✔️ Proper clinical time no sales pressure

✔️ Clear answers, not quick fixes

✔️ The latest discreet hearing technology when it’s genuinely needed

If you’ve been putting up with it, second-guessing yourself, or delaying because you “don’t want hearing aids” this appointment is for clarity, not commitment.

📅 Appointments available today and filling fast.

Stop guessing.
Start hearing and feeling confident again.

What are the health benefits of having a hearing test? I do get my eyes test every 2 years but what about my ears?

Hearing loss affects 1 in 3 adults. That’s more than 18 million people in the UK who are deaf, have hearing loss or tinnitus.

Over half the population aged 55 or more have hearing loss.

That’s almost 80% of people over the age of 70 will have hearing loss.

An estimated 2.4 million adults in the UK have a level of hearing loss that means they would struggle to hear most conversational speech.

Latest research suggests 1 in 7 adults have tinnitus. Over 7 million adults in the UK have tinnitus.

Why book a hearing assessment at The Ear Clinic? 👂

A hearing assessment isn’t just about testing your hearing it’s about understanding it, protecting it, and improving everyday life.

At The Ear Clinic, a hearing assessment can help you:

✅ Get clear answers about your hearing

✅ Detect changes early, before they start to impact your confidence

✅ Hear speech more clearly, especially in background noise

✅ Reduce listening effort and support brain health

✅ Understand whether hearing aids would genuinely help and which type suits you

✅ Rule out simple causes like wax, perforation, infection or noise exposure.

Most importantly, you’ll receive honest, personalised advice from an experienced clinician with no pressure.

Genuine support when you need it with no waiting lists.
