Finding out you have a hearing loss can feel overwhelming 😔
It’s completely natural to have questions, worries, or even feel unsure about what comes next.

That’s where our Hearing Therapist, Penny, can help. 💚🌞

Penny is not only a specialist in tinnitus management, but she’s also highly trained in supporting people who are newly diagnosed with hearing loss. She understands that hearing care isn’t just about results on a page – it’s about you, your confidence, and your quality of life.

👂 With Penny, you can book either:
✨ A one-off session – to talk through your hearing test results and get clarity on what they mean for you.
✨ Or a course of sessions – where she’ll help you build a pathway forward, offering guidance and emotional support every step of the way.

Whether you need reassurance, practical advice, or simply someone who understands, you don’t have to navigate hearing loss alone.

📞 Call us today or message us here to book in with Penny.
You deserve support that helps you feel heard, understood, and ready for the next step. 💙

🌟 Meet Our Hero: Stephanie 🌟
This incredible woman is not just a valued member of our team – she’s a true warrior. 💪

In 2022, Stephanie was diagnosed with breast cancer. What followed was a gruelling year of surgery, aggressive chemotherapy, and radiotherapy – a journey that came with hair loss, moon face, and all the physical and emotional battles that come with it. But with the love and support of her family and friends, Stephanie took the fight to cancer...and won!💥

Now, she’s taking on a whole new challenge: a half marathon charity hike in the Cotswolds in support of Macmillan Cancer Support – a charity close to her heart that does incredible work supporting people through their cancer journeys.

🟢 Please consider donating – every penny counts, and we know times are tough right now. If you can spare anything at all, it would mean the world to Stephanie and to the countless people Macmillan helps every day.

📲 Donate via her JustGiving page here:
👉 https://www.justgiving.com/page/stephanie-hodgson-3?utm_medium=FR&utm_source=CL

Let’s get behind our girl and show her just how proud we are. You’ve got this, Stephanie! 💚👏
