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."
