We are proud to recommend Starkey Hearing to our patients and appreciate your interest in hearing from 'real people' who have experienced their services.

As a top eye surgeon, Dr. David Whiting understands the significance of precision and focus. However, when hearing loss began to affect his surgical practice, he knew he had to take action. Dr. Whiting shares his journey toward improved hearing, detailing how it transformed both his professional and personal life, and explains why he chose Starkey to make hearing feel natural again.

Next time you plug into your earbuds to drown out the sound of the gym or your daily commute, take a moment to think about your poor ears being pounded with techno, drum and bass, house or even classical.

A YouTuber called Zack D Films has created a simulation revealing what can happen to your ears if you turn your earbuds up 'really loud'.

Hearing loss can lead to stress and frustration, not only for those directly affected but also for their loved ones. Constantly repeating themselves can be challenging, and casual remarks may lose their meaning and subtlety. This can alter relationships and contribute to feelings of isolation.

If this resonates with you, reach out for a hearing assessment – it can significantly improve the quality of life for you and those around you. 💬💖

Recent reporting has highlighted growing concern about how constant use of noise-cancelling headphones may be affecting the way some people - particularly younger listeners - process sound (Link in comments)

Hearing isn’t just about how loud a sound is. It’s also about how the brain filters, prioritises and makes sense of what we hear especially in noisy environments.

If listening in busy places feels harder, even when a hearing test is “normal”, it’s worth paying attention to. Difficulties can relate to sound processing, listening fatigue, or reduced exposure to everyday background noise.

Protecting your hearing matters but so does keeping your listening skills active.

If you’re concerned about changes in how you hear or process sound, seek advice early. Hearing health is about more than volume — it’s about clarity, focus and how your brain interprets the world around you.
