Paul O'Hara, Audiologist
"I became an audiologist because I am naturally fascinated by hearing's science and the phenomenon of sound. I wanted to pursue a career that satisfies my curiosity and supports my passion.
Hearing technology enables miracles, and I am delighted to play my part in connecting the patient to the right technology and a world of sounds. I enjoy the challenge of solving problems and enhancing people's lives."
Brian Daly, Audiologist
"I’ve always been interested in audiology. I had “Glue Ear” as a child, which was treated by grommets. This had a profound effect on my hearing ability, and I felt pretty isolated. I want to protect people from that awful feeling helping them hear better, which is why I choose a career in audiology.".jpg?rev=b1e0ae441dc54656997d2b7c3a86f64d)
