Hearing tests in Shanklin
The beautiful Isle of Wight has so much to offer - but are you having trouble joining in with activities because of your hearing?
Whatever the problem, a free hearing check is a great way to get to the root of the issue and allow you to live life to the fullest. So why not book in with Hazel Smith Opticians?
Conveniently positioned on Shanklin High Street, we are near to Shanklin Beach and the theatre, so whatever you are up to, you can fit a visit into your day.
We know it can take people up to eight years to address hearing loss, so our mission is to provide you with great service and help you to take care of your hearing.
Our audiologist, Nick Thomas, studied at Mary Mare Newbury under Oxford Brookes University and is also trained in wax removal.
Our Audiologist
Professional
I have been in audiology for over 5 years, having studied at Mary Mare Newbury under Oxford Brookes University. After qualifying I also trained in wax removal. The most enjoyable part of my job is meeting and helping clients with hearing difficulties. I find it an extremely satisfying profession, meeting clients and helping them to improve their hearing.
Health and Personal
I was born in Hannover, Germany as my father was in the forces, and I returned to the UK when I was 25. I have three children and two amazing grandchildren that take up a great deal of my spare time. When not with them, and weather permitting, there is nothing better than rolling my Harley Davidson out of the garage and hitting the open road. Top of my bucket list is to take my Harley to America’s Yellowstone national park.
