Shona has been proudly representing at the British Academy of Audiology annual conference in Telford. ❄️

The weather might be as cold as it is back in the Borders, but the conversations have been warm, helpful and inspiring!

She’s loved chatting with students, sharing insights about working independently, and offering guidance on setting up their own businesses as they take the next steps in their journey. 🌱✨

A special highlight has been meeting the wonderful Hearing Dog team — including Max, who might look a little anxious, but this is his happiest place to stand. 🐾💙

Great connections, great learning, and a great two days, but homeward bound this afternoon! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿❤

🌺 We Will Remember Them 🌺

Today, along with people across the Scottish Borders, we take a moment to remember all those from our towns and villages who gave so much in the service of our country, in the Great War, the Second World War, and in many conflicts since.

Their courage, sacrifice, and love for home will never be forgotten.
We are forever grateful. ❤️

📣 November is Men’s Mental Health Awareness Month!

A time to highlight the challenges many men face and encourage open conversations around depression, stress, and su***de prevention. 💙

At Borders Hearing Care, we understand how hearing difficulties and tinnitus can profoundly affect wellbeing.

Hearing loss is closely linked with increased risks of social isolation, anxiety, and depression and no one should struggle alone.

Shona isn’t growing a moustache for Movember 😄 — but she is great at starting conversations.

If you have any concerns about hearing or tinnitus and would like a friendly chat along with a free consultation, we’re here to help.

📞 Call us on 01896 800369
Mention this post when booking your appointment please!

Let’s keep the conversation going and support men’s health together. 💬🧡 💙

Any of our followers have exterior black slate looking dull…. Trade tip is WD-40 for extra shine!
