Elaine Clifford at DI Blow Opticians in Ilkeston. Derbyshire.
After experiencing difficulty in hearing during conversations in various social settings. I felt that I needed to have my hearing tested by a professional audiologist. Fortunately my optician had recently advised that they were running a clinic where I could have my hearing evaluated, professionally. I booked a test and duly attended. I was assessed at DI Blow Opticians in Ilkeston, Derbyshire, by Elaine Clifford, a charming and very knowledgeable audiologist, who left no stone unturned in understanding the hearing difficulties which I was experiencing. The process was very thorough and carried out with care. Elaine found that I was indeed losing my hearing and advised hearing aids. She fitted a pair of hearing aids, after testing my hearing, using various calculations, and the difference, to my hearing wearing the temporary hearing aids was staggering. To cut a long story short, approximately one week later I purchased a pair of, very reasonably priced, hearing aids, suitably checked and fitted by Elaine. I have been wearing them daily for approximately 6 weeks and I'm not exaggerating when I say that they have absolutely changed my hearing experience. I used to suffer headaches straining to hear during conversations, always asking people to repeat what they had said or simply not being able to understand much of what thay had said and simply saying, pardon, sorry I can't hear you. No more of that, thankfully. I sincerely cannot thank Elaine at DI Blow opticians in Ilkeston enough. An absolute life changing experience. Recommended. Thank you Elaine.
