MEMBER PROFILE

David Swinbourne from James David Hearing Care Ltd

James David Hearing Care is a family-run, independent clinical Practice based in Hartlepool, specialising in ear wax removal and general ear-health. They operate across Teesside and East Durham.

On top of ear wax removal they’ll also give you full peace of mind on the health of your ears with optional otoscopy examinations and hearing tests in your appointment. They can then link to ENT Specialists across the UK and will connect with your GP Surgery on your behalf if a referral back into the NHS is required.

They’re passionate about their local area, so support organisations which are important to our community, like Alice House Hospice and Hartlepool United Football Club.

During David’s informative 10 minute presentation he showed us samples of some of the devices he uses to help you with loss of sound and also did a sound demonstration on how people with sound loss hear things. Losing your hearing isn’t something you should just tolerate. Give him a call on 01429 233091 or visit his website to book an appointment:
