Hear clear as a bell: Bellbird Hearing
One of life’s milestones is admitting that your hearing isn’t what it used to be.
When the time is right to address the issue, you want to be treated like an individual. You want your lifestyle aspirations met, and not be treated as an average of the clients that have been in this week.
You’ll find this personal touch at Bellbird Hearing in Ilam. “Clients say it’s our people that make us stand out,” says Sam Sloane. With nine years’ experience in hearing care, Sam is a fully qualified MNZAS Audiologist with a special interest in hearing rehabilitation and tinnitus.
Sam understands everybody is unique, and hearing loss affects people differently.
Sam’s appointments include tests for the ability to hear important speech frequencies. “However, you can’t judge on the tests alone,” says Sam, “Ten clients could have exactly the same degree of hearing impairment, but report totally different hearing problems.” Sam’s key role is to listen to you, then offer the best advice on how to manage your hearing loss and tinnitus over the long term.
MNZAS qualified Audiologist Caroline Smales has almost 11 years of clinical experience and has developed a strong following. Sought for her experience, caring nature, and excellent listening skills, Caroline puts the client at the centre of everything she does. “As we age, we all know how important it is to stay connected with family and friends. I understand these communication difficulties and strive
to support my clients on their journey to better hearing and to improve the quality of life for them and their families,” says Caroline.
