New Centre improves Wood Green’s hearing

July 9, 2008 - PRLog -- According to a survery by a leading charity, 1 in 7 people in London have some degree of hearing loss. David Ormerod Hearing Centres, a company with over 45 years experience of looking after Britain’s hearing, has now opened a new centre in Boots Opticians, 137-139 High Road, offering the people in Wood Green the chance to hear better.

The Wood Green centre joins the other 205 David Ormerod Hearing Centres in offering free hearing assessments or 5 minute hearing checks to anyone worried about their hearing – this is a quick and convenient test which lets you know whether you need any further assessment. The centre has been warmly welcomed because waiting times on the NHS for hearing tests in Wood Green can be up to 42 weeks.

“On average, people struggle for 15 years before getting their hearing tested, and miss out on so much. The new David Ormerod Hearing Centre provides an opportunity for people in Wood Green to get their hearing checked by experts and solve any hearing problems they may have with the latest technology – combined with our comprehensive aftercare package, we offer a service that cannot be matched by other providers or the NHS. ” says Rachel Morgan, hearing aid audiologist at the new centre.

The new centre is also offering consultations for people already wearing hearing aids who need their hearing or hearing aids checking or wish to find out about new technology now available. To book a free appointment at the David Ormerod Hearing Centre at Wood Green please call 0845 270 1399.

There are over 200 David Ormerod Hearing Centres in Boots stores, on the high street and in NHS Trust and private hospitals. David Ormerod Hearing Centres offer a wide-variety of behind-the-ear and in-the-ear hearing aids that are less noticeable and more cosmetically appealing than those available on the NHS.  The David Ormerod Hearing Centre service also includes a comprehensive aftercare package.
