2025 A Healthier You Through Better Hearing

Last year, more than 21,000 adults aged 55 and older were surveyed, and asked to answer the question: What does healthy ageing mean to you? It revealed how much taking care of hearing health could help people achieve overall wellness into the future. Read more about the survey here.
 
So how do you achieve a healthier you, through better hearing?

• Use noise protection in noisy environments
• See your audiologist for a hearing health check
• If you have a hearing loss, wear hearing aids (the sooner the better!)

The good news is that by keeping your ears in good health, using appropriate protective equipment and following these helpful tips, we can help secure our hearing for the future.

As the Practice Coordinator, I manage the daily operations of the practice, ensuring smooth and efficient service for both patients and staff. I also take pride in ensuring that our tea and coffee service is always available, creating a welcoming and comfortable environment for our patients. 
Though my experience in healthcare is still relatively new, I've already witnessed the profound impact of improved communication with clients and their families—often resulting in immediate expressions of relief and joy, with some even breaking into spontaneous dances! These moments inspire me to continue contributing to the well-being of those I serve, and I look forward to supporting patients on their journey to improved hearing. 
In my spare time, I have a strong passion for sports. Cricket was my primary sport, and although golf has not quite replaced it, I still enjoy the occasional round—weather permitting, of course. I am also a dedicated supporter of Truro City Football Club.
In addition to sports, I am an avid card and board game enthusiast, often spending time with friends over a friendly match. On special occasions, such as birthdays, we enjoy challenging ourselves with an escape room experience.
