Wax removal in Darlington, Richmond and Horden
While this might come as a surprise, a build-up of excess ear wax can be a significant cause of muffled hearing, ear pain, or even hearing loss. If you are a hearing aid user, you could be especially susceptible to this. During your free hearing check, your audiologist will advise whether you may benefit from ear wax removal. Our expert audiologist will use micro-suction, a pain-free and effective method to remove the excess wax, so you can enjoy optimal hearing.
Chloe Browne
Audiologist
Professional
After starting as an optical apprentice, Chloe quickly found her love for audiology and became a HCA, moving on to complete her degree as a hearing aid dispenser. Chloe has worked in both NHS and private hearing care. In more recent years, she has focussed on solely private hearing care as she appreciates that the pace of work privately allows her to spend all the time she needs with her patients to ensure the most premium and quality service is provided. Chloe's main focus is always her patient and she gets great pleasure from helping people.
Health and Personal
Outside of work, Chloe is very family orientated and spends all her time with her partner, friends and family. She goes to a bootcamp which has given her some focus outside of work to do something for herself.
