Do you want hearing technology that doesn’t just amplify sound — but understands it?

Phonak Infinio Ultra introduces a completely new way of hearing, powered by the world’s first dual-chip hearing aid platform, including a dedicated AI chip designed purely for sound processing.

◦ Clearer conversations in noisy environments
◦ Automatic adjustment as your surroundings change

◦ A custom-made fit designed around your comfort

Developed through over 10,000 hours of Swiss engineering and testing, Phonak Infinio Ultra sets a new benchmark for speech clarity and natural hearing.

Do you want to experience the latest breakthrough in hearing technology?

What about hearing support that is 53 times more powerful than previous hearing aid technology — designed specifically to help you hear clearly in the places that matter most.

One of the biggest frustrations for hearing aid users is background noise.
Busy restaurants. Family gatherings. Social occasions that should be enjoyable — but instead feel tiring and overwhelming.

Phonak Infinio Ultra has been created to change that.

Using the world’s first dual-chip hearing aid platform powered by AI, this next generation technology actively reduces unwanted background noise and helps you focus on speech — so conversations sound clearer, more natural and far less effortful.

This isn’t just an upgrade.
It’s a genuine step forward in how hearing aids work in the real world.

Phonak Infinio Ultra is now available to see, hear and test at a Hearing Check clinic near you — with no obligation, just the opportunity to experience the difference for yourself.

🌟 Another Wonderful Review for Hearing Check — Thank You, Jeremy! 🌟

We’re delighted to share this fantastic feedback from Jeremy, who recently visited our Sowerby Bridge clinic:

“Having recently attended Hearing Check at Sowerby Bridge I can thoroughly recommend the service provided.
After putting off seeking help for a long time, I now realise how wonderful it is to hear properly again.
Ged, the excellent audiologist, performed a thorough examination and explained everything clearly and patiently.
The hearing aid options were detailed and personalised — and now they’re fitted, I’m extremely happy. I no longer miss conversations, TV is clearer, and I’ve rediscovered sounds like birdsong. Priceless. Thank you, Ged.”

Hearing loss can creep in gradually — but the difference proper hearing care can make is life-changing.

If you’ve been wondering whether it’s time to get checked, Jeremy’s experience says it all.

Meet Helen Jordan – Ear Technician (Elland & Sowerby Bridge)

For the past six years, Helen Jordan has been a familiar, friendly face at Hearing Check — known for her calm manner, gentle approach and the strong rapport she builds with clients who return to her year after year.
As an experienced Ear Technician, Helen specialises in safe, effective wax removal, offering the kind of almost-instant relief that can transform someone’s hearing — and often their confidence — in just one appointment.

“It’s incredibly satisfying,” she says. “When someone has been struggling with blocked ears or hearing problems, being able to help them hear clearly again feels wonderful.”

A career built on helping people
Before joining Hearing Check, Helen spent 20 years as an Occupational Therapist working in stroke rehabilitation, supporting people through some of the most challenging moments of their lives. That background shaped her approach today: patient-centred, thoughtful, and always respectful of each person’s individual needs.

“I’ve learned that we’re all different,” she explains. “Some clients feel extremely nervous every time, others breeze through without a worry. You have to respect those differences and adapt.”
Helping nervous patients feel at ease

Helen’s gentle, step-by-step style helps patients feel safe, reassured and never rushed.

“I talk them through the whole process so nothing feels unexpected,” she says. “And if someone needs to take their time or prefers to come back for a second appointment, that’s absolutely fine.”
Her message on hearing health

If there’s one thing Helen wishes everyone knew, it’s this: “Please, please don’t ignore hearing loss, pain or wax build-up — do something about it!”

Early action can make all the difference, and Helen sees every day how much easier life becomes when people seek support sooner.

What she finds most rewarding
For Helen, the highlight of her work is simple: “The end result — clear ears and satisfied clients.”
Seeing someone leave happier, more comfortable and hearing clearly again is why she does what she does.

Life outside the clinic
Away from work, Helen loves swimming and long walks with her Bedlington Whippet. She’s also a keen cook — and an adventurous one at that. Many colleagues are surprised to learn she has taken on wild swimming spots in Burnsall and Staintondale, as well as lidos in Helmsley, Penzance and Jubilee Park.

Words she lives by
Helen holds onto two pieces of advice that say everything about her outlook on life:
“Never go to bed on an argument.”
“Spend money on a good pair of shoes and a good mattress — you spend a long time in both!”

Compassionate, steady and highly experienced, Helen brings warmth and reassurance to every appointment — and is a vital part of the Hearing Check team in Elland and Sowerby Bridge.

Meet Simon Bland – Director & Hearing Aid Audiologist (Preston & Lytham)

With over a decade at Hearing Check — and nearly 30 years in audiology — Simon Bland is one of the driving forces behind the exceptional standards the clinics are known for.
As Director and Head Audiologist at Preston Hearing Care Centre and The Lytham Clinic, his mission is simple: to give every patient the best hearing care experience they’ve ever had.

Simon believes hearing care should feel warm, human and genuinely life-changing. “From the moment someone walks through the door to the moment they leave, everything matters,” he says. “The little touches, the welcome, the explanation, the follow-up — that’s how you create an experience people remember.”
His journey into audiology wasn’t planned — in fact, it began with a casual chat over a pint almost 30 years ago. A friend who was already an audiologist encouraged him to try the profession, and Simon now describes it as the best decision he’s ever made.

A reassuring, human approach
Simon has a natural ability to put nervous patients at ease.
“I usually make them laugh,” he says. “Then I talk to them like a friend, not like a doctor. It helps people relax and feel safe.”

Over the years, he’s learned something profound about patient care: “People don’t always remember what you do or what you say — but they always remember how you make them feel.”

What motivates him
For Simon, the most rewarding moments don’t happen in the consulting room — they happen afterwards, at follow-up visits, when families tell him the difference better hearing has made at home.
“There’s nothing more meaningful than a husband, wife, son or daughter thanking me for giving someone back their confidence, connection and independence,” he says.

His advice for better hearing
Simon’s message is simple: “Don’t put it off. We all have regular eye tests — hearing tests are just as important.”

Life outside the clinic
Outside of work, Simon loves cooking, entertaining, eating out and — in his own words — going to the gym so he can continue cooking and eating out guilt-free. He enjoys holidays in the sun when he can escape the business, and has recently taken on a new challenge: learning to play the piano at the age of 58.

A guiding principle
Simon lives by a personal standard that’s served him well throughout his career: “Be organised, be on time, be well groomed, and keep a positive mental attitude. Be ready.”

Warm, skilled and deeply dedicated to his patients, Simon is a core part of the Hearing Check team — bringing expertise, humour and heart to every appointment.
