As we step into a brand new year, it’s the perfect time to focus on your wellbeing — and that includes your hearing.

Simple ways to support your hearing health in 2026:

• Keep the volume at a safe level when listening to music
• Take regular breaks from noisy environments
• Book routine hearing check-ups to keep track of changes

Small steps can make a big difference. Make this the year you prioritise your hearing — because every sound matters.

Meet Simon Bland – Director & Hearing Aid Audiologist (Preston & Lytham)

With over a decade at Hearing Check — and nearly 30 years in audiology — Simon Bland is one of the driving forces behind the exceptional standards the clinics are known for.
As Director and Head Audiologist at Preston Hearing Care Centre and The Lytham Clinic, his mission is simple: to give every patient the best hearing care experience they’ve ever had.

Simon believes hearing care should feel warm, human and genuinely life-changing. “From the moment someone walks through the door to the moment they leave, everything matters,” he says. “The little touches, the welcome, the explanation, the follow-up — that’s how you create an experience people remember.”
His journey into audiology wasn’t planned — in fact, it began with a casual chat over a pint almost 30 years ago. A friend who was already an audiologist encouraged him to try the profession, and Simon now describes it as the best decision he’s ever made.

A reassuring, human approach
Simon has a natural ability to put nervous patients at ease.
“I usually make them laugh,” he says. “Then I talk to them like a friend, not like a doctor. It helps people relax and feel safe.”

Over the years, he’s learned something profound about patient care: “People don’t always remember what you do or what you say — but they always remember how you make them feel.”

What motivates him
For Simon, the most rewarding moments don’t happen in the consulting room — they happen afterwards, at follow-up visits, when families tell him the difference better hearing has made at home.
“There’s nothing more meaningful than a husband, wife, son or daughter thanking me for giving someone back their confidence, connection and independence,” he says.

His advice for better hearing
Simon’s message is simple: “Don’t put it off. We all have regular eye tests — hearing tests are just as important.”

Life outside the clinic
Outside of work, Simon loves cooking, entertaining, eating out and — in his own words — going to the gym so he can continue cooking and eating out guilt-free. He enjoys holidays in the sun when he can escape the business, and has recently taken on a new challenge: learning to play the piano at the age of 58.

A guiding principle
Simon lives by a personal standard that’s served him well throughout his career: “Be organised, be on time, be well groomed, and keep a positive mental attitude. Be ready.”

Warm, skilled and deeply dedicated to his patients, Simon is a core part of the Hearing Check team — bringing expertise, humour and heart to every appointment.

Hearing Loss Awareness – Why Early Action Matters

The sounds that shape our everyday lives — shared laughter, favourite songs, the gentle chatter of a café, even the comforting hum of a busy street — all play a part in how connected we feel.

But when hearing loss begins, these sounds often fade slowly.
Many people don’t notice the change at first… only the impact:

• reduced energy
• difficulty following conversations
• withdrawing from social situations
• feeling isolated or overwhelmed

Hearing loss doesn’t just affect your ears — it affects how your brain processes sound and engages with the world around you. That’s why awareness and early intervention are so important.

Today’s hearing technology is designed to support your brain’s natural way of understanding sound, helping you stay confident, connected, and fully involved in daily life.

If you’ve noticed changes — or if friends and family have — don’t wait until it becomes frustrating.

Book a hearing check and take the first step toward hearing life fully again.

Meet Zahra Isaji – Audiologist at Hearing Check (Preston & Home Visit Services)

Zahra has been part of Hearing Check for three years, working as an Audiologist at the Preston clinic and providing home visits for patients who need care in the comfort of their own surroundings.

Her role includes hearing tests, wax removal and fitting hearing aids — but for Zahra, it’s about much more than the practical side of audiology. “Improving somebody’s hearing has such a big impact on their health and wellbeing,” she says. “It’s incredibly heartwarming knowing I can make a permanent difference to not just one person, but to everyone in their life.”

With a caring and friendly nature, Zahra is known for helping patients feel relaxed and supported. She takes time to explain things clearly, encourages family involvement and creates a calm environment where people feel listened to and reassured. Over the years, she has learned that no two patients are the same — and that understanding each person’s lifestyle is key to finding the right solution.

Her message about hearing health is simple: hearing is one of our most important senses — don’t wait. Even small changes can affect confidence, relationships and quality of life.

What Zahra finds most rewarding is witnessing the moment a patient first hears clearly again. “It’s the little things — the click of a pen, rustling clothes — and the emotion on their face when they realise what they’ve been missing.”

Outside of work, she loves spending time with her children, family and friends, enjoying get-togethers, short breaks and holidays. A fun fact? Her first ever hike was Ben Nevis — and she made it to the top with minimal training.

She lives by the belief that life is about experiences, making memories and appreciating the small things.

Meet Jo Persechino – Audiologist at Hearing Check (Preston & Lytham)
Jo has been part of the Hearing Check team for four years, working across the Preston and Lytham clinics as an experienced and compassionate Audiologist.

After many years in the Police, Jo wanted a career where she could help people in a more personal, life-changing way. Audiology offered exactly that. “I love the sense of satisfaction when a patient suddenly realises they can hear clearly again,” she says. “That look of joy — hearing speech properly or noticing sounds they haven’t heard in years — is priceless.”

Her approach with patients is simple: listen, reassure, and never rush. She understands that everyone is different and says, “You can’t have a single approach when you’re working with different personalities.” For Jo, taking time and making patients feel safe is just as important as the technology itself.

Her one key message about hearing health? “Don’t wait too long before deciding to aid a hearing loss — you can never bring back what’s gone.”

What she loves most about the role is that no two days are the same — every patient brings a new story, a new challenge, and often a new piece of technology to explore.

Outside of work, Jo enjoys spending time with friends and family and appreciating the little things in life. A fun fact? She plays the piano.

She lives by the simple, timeless advice: “Treat people as you would like to be treated.”

Meet Chris Atherton – Technical Support & Customer Services at Hearing Check (Preston Hearing Care Centre)

Chris has been part of the Hearing Check team for over two and a half years, welcoming patients to the Preston clinic with warmth and professionalism.

As the first friendly face many patients see, Chris plays a key role in helping people feel calm and comfortable from the moment they arrive. He enjoys being able to help and reassure patients — especially those who may be feeling nervous about their hearing appointment.

He says, “I always try to speak clearly and calmly, and reassure patients — they’re often so grateful for even the smallest bit of help.”

Before joining Hearing Check, Chris worked in property management, but wanted a role that allowed him to make more of a difference in people’s lives.

Outside of work, he enjoys spending time at the gym, and his colleagues are often surprised to learn that he also holds a management degree.

His personal motto? “Always try and look for the positive in the situation.”

⭐ Patient Feedback That Really Says It All ⭐

“Fantastic experience from start to finish. Simon took real time to listen, explain, and tailor everything to my needs — with no rushing or sales pressure. I had access to multiple top manufacturers, far more choice than any high-street provider offered me, and at a much better price. The care was personal, honest, and genuinely focused on long-term hearing health.
Highly recommend — outstanding service and value.”
— Ian McLachlan

• Personal, unrushed care
