Keep your Christmas CLEAR

A simple, free hearing test will make sure you don’t miss out on any of the festive fun

It’s easy to get your hearing checked

This is such a great time of year, with wonderful parties, celebratio­ns and family

gatherings to enjoy. But for one in six* of us, it’s not easy to relax and get into the Christmas spirit. Why? Because gradual hearing loss means it’s no longer possible to join in properly with conversati­ons, and to hear clearly when you’re out and about.

That makes it especially difficult to cope at gatherings where there’s lots of background noise, like music or chatting. You might notice it at events, such as the office party, when distinguis­hing what’s being said to you becomes really tricky.

Even if your own hearing is perfect, you may have noticed a close friend or family member seems to be having trouble hearing, and you’re concerned that they’re feeling isolated by the problem. Whether it’s affecting you or someone you love, you may not realise just how easy it is to get your hearing checked. Specsavers Audiologis­ts offer a three-minute hearing check in store, which is a quick and simple way to find out if you have a hearing problem.

It’s free, and you don’t even need an appointmen­t – just ask at your local store. Then if you need to arrange a full hearing test, that’s completely free too.

At Specsavers, the hearing care profession­als understand just how much hearing loss can affect your life, and they will use their expertise to find a solution that best meets your needs, lifestyle and budget. The price of hearing aids is dependent on the type and number of features they have, not the severity of your hearing loss.

Specsavers stock leading brands including Siemens, Phonak, Widex and Advance. So don’t miss out on any festive fun because of hearing loss. Book your free test, and start living life to the full once again.
