The UK Audiologist of the Year is an annual award run by Rayovac, the world’s No.1 selling hearing aid battery producer, to give patients across the UK an opportunity to recognise the professionalism and excellence of audiologists who go above and beyond the call of duty to help.
This year was the award’s second year, with around 700 nominations from members of the public all over the country – both NHS and private. The nominations were then judged by an independent panel.
And we are very pleased to announce that our very own Will Parfitt was shortlisted to the top 12 nominations, receiving a “Certificate of Commendation” by the judges. Janet Dietz, an organist from Devon, nominated Will for his time and effort tuning and optimising her hearing aids enabling her to concentrate on her music profession. (You can read about Janet's experience under "What Our Clients Say")
Such was the exceptional standard of entries in the UK this year that the eventual UK Winner actually went on to be awarded European Audiologist of the Year, winning the award ahead of leading professionals in Austria, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and Sweden.
Broom Reid & Harris has always strived to go the extra mile for our clients because we know how important their hearing is to them. And whilst we don’t do it for recognition – it’s certainly nice when it happens! So congratulations Will!
What brings Annie Lennox, Mick Jagger and Amy Winehouse under one roof? Answer, the Hear the World Ambassadors photography exhibition by leading hearing system manufacturer Phonak in cooperation with musician and photographer Bryan Adams, which is being sponsored by Devon’s hearing centre Broom Reid & Harris Hearing Care.
Broom Reid & Harris has become one of only seven Hearing Centres in the UK to have a Widex-installed laser scanner.
This amazing piece of kit uses a laser to capture a three-dimensional computer image of a cast of someone's, which is then sent over the Internet straight into Widex's UK production line in London, reducing delivery time for custom hearing aids to less than a week!
