🎉 3 YEARS IN COTTINGHAM 🎉

This weekend was three years since we opened our Cottingham clinic and what an incredible journey it’s been!

Since then, we’ve welcomed so many wonderful patients, helped countless people hear more clearly, and continued to grow the Your Hearing Consultants team.

A huge thank you to everyone who’s supported us along the way. Here’s to many more years of helping our community hear their best! 💫

Is it your hearing… or has the Christmas (yes we said it the C word!) music really started already? 😅

Either way, you’ll want to make sure you’re catching every note, whether it’s Mariah Carey or your favourite festive film.

As the colder months set in, it’s easy to brush off those moments of “Did you say something?” or “Turn that up a bit.” But good hearing keeps you connected to conversations, laughter, and all the little moments that make this time of year special.

Book a hearing test today to make sure you’re looking after your hearing health.

Taking the step to trust someone new with your hearing isn’t always easy — and we truly appreciate it when people put that trust in us.

We know it can feel like a big decision to move from NHS to private care, but we’re here to make that journey as reassuring, supportive and rewarding as possible.

Huge thanks to this patient — and to Emma and our Pocklington team for the outstanding care they provide every day.

A free online course teaching British Sign Language (BSL) has "surpassed expectations" with tens of thousands of people signing up, its organisers have said.

While staff at Doncaster Deaf Trust had aimed for about 3,000 subscribers to the BSL course it had developed, over 31,000 people across the UK had so far joined in.

It's great news that people are eager to get their communication right, with more than half of the general public saying learning basic words and phrases in BSL would help them.

Big new findings for hearing health! A UK-wide study has found that around 20.3 million people aged 50 and over may be living with some form of hearing loss. Not only that 7.7 million of those cannot hear clearly with both ears.

This highlights just how important it is not to “wait and see” when it comes to your hearing.

- Early identification can help maintain quality of life and social engagement.
- Hearing check-ups should be part of your regular health plan — especially if you’re over 50.
- if you’ve noticed subtle changes in your hearing (even if you think “it can wait”), it’s worth getting checked sooner rather than later.

We’re here to support you with clear, professional advice and hearing solutions tailored just for you. Don’t let hearing loss sneak up unnoticed.

Our sense of hearing is an essential part of communication and social well-being. When your ability to hear begins to diminish, take action immediately to help prevent further damage.

Did you know cold weather increases the risk of ear infections because it reduces circulation in the ear?

Frequent ear infections can lead to serious hearing problems over time, which is why it’s important to wrap up warm to help reduce the risk.

FUN FACT FRIDAY!

Did you know that one of the world’s greatest composers, Ludwig Van Beethoven, began losing his hearing in his late 20s? By the time he wrote some of his most famous works – including the iconic Ninth Symphony – he was almost completely deaf.

His story is a powerful reminder that hearing loss doesn’t have to silence creativity, passion, or achievement.

At Your Hearing Consultants, we’re here to support and empower everyone on their own journey.

On average over 3 years pass between becoming aware of a loss and getting hearing aids.

Not only that 66% of hearing aid owners think they should have got them sooner.

If you have any concerns don't put off getting it check, the sooner you act the sooner you can help improve your hearing health.
