This Morning TV’s Dr Chris Steele
To encourage people to put their hearing to the test, Boots Hearingcare recently
teamed up with TV’s This Morning resident GP Dr Chris Steele, and the charity Hearing
Concern LINK for a nationwide ‘Put Your Hearing To The Test’ campaign. They called
on people, especially those over 60, to ask themselves ‘when was the last time I
had a hearing check?’
Dr Chris Steele says:
“The natural reaction is for people to ‘put it off’ and not take action. But when
people do have a hearing test they are often very surprised by the results, not
realising how much they were missing - I know I was. Unlike eyesight, it is not
easy to draw comparisons with others to judge how good your hearing is.”

Telltale signs of hearing loss
“Do you constantly turn up the television while others complain that you have the
volume too loud? Do you struggle to follow conversation when there is background
noise? If these sound familiar to you, they’re signs of hearing loss and you should
have a hearing check.”
The latest hearing aid technology
Dr Chris Steele had his hearing checked by Boots hearingcare and has been fitted
with hearing aids in both ears. Technology has evolved and progressed significantly
in all walks of life, from mobile phones and MP3 players to televisions and computers.
The solutions available to help you fine tune your hearing have developed in the
same way.There are now options that are smaller, smarter and more comfortable than
ever before. There is even a device that you use ‘as and when required’, with solutions
available privately from £149.
