Guy Wolstencroft of Manx Hidden Hearing recently gave an informative presentation at the Royal British Legion Onchan Branch on how to protect and treat your ears. The presentation was part of the local hearing healthcare provider’s ongoing initiative to support The Royal British Legion. Many of those who fought either in WW2 or in more recent conflicts such as Afghanistan experience difficulties with their hearing and for some help isn’t easy to find. Guy talked about how companies like Manx Hidden Hearing can help to turn your life around if you are suffering from these difficulties. His message was that although many people suffer in silence and as a result become depressed, there is help out there and just a call or visit to a nearby clinic could change your life. Eddie Prescott, Chairman of the Royal British Legion Onchan Branch, commented ‘We were delighted that Guy and the team were able to visit us. As war veterans, we realise the damage that can be caused by prolonged exposure to such noise pollution, but it was great to hear that there are ways of treating it right here on the Island. Manx Hidden Hearing provided the Royal British Legion with endless support last year and we were more than thrilled to hear that they would like to support us again in 2010. Support from valued organisations like Manx Hidden Hearing makes it easier for the Legion to continue its vital work supporting those who are serving and have served in the British Armed Forces.’ Guy Wolstencroft, Manager of Manx Hidden Hearing, said: ‘Our service men and women deserve all the support we can give. Many return home experiencing difficulties with their hearing as a result of the noise experienced in areas of conflict. ‘Manx Hidden Hearing provides first class hearing healthcare for our clients along with the most modern and discrete hearing systems. Manx Hidden Hearing also offers products for Hearing Protection to help prevent the damage from exposure to noise, whether it be through battlefield sounds, loud music or factory machines.’ To celebrate its ongoing support for the Royal British Legion, Manx Hidden Hearing will donate ?5 to The Royal British Legion for each hearing assessment carried out at the Manx Hidden Hearing Clinic from 1st September and until 14th November. Members of the public, whether service men/women past or present or just those who would like to show their support are invited to come down for a free hearing assessment. Please call 617 683 to book or call into the clinic in Village Walk, Onchan. Ends
