Free Hearing Care Event in Harleston


ONE local business is holding a free hearing loss awareness event to encourage the residents of Harleston to prioritise their hearing health. Hearing loss affects 1 in 6 people in the UK and it takes 10 years on average before those who have noticed a loss in their hearing choose to seek help. Research has also proven that other than a reduced quality and experience of life, hearing loss can also lead to cognitive decline resulting in conditions such as depression and dementia.


The Hearing Care Centre, which is a family-run business with 26 centres across East Anglia, will hold a special Hearing Care Day at Jeffrey &

Karen Finch, founder and


lead audiologist at The Hearing Care Centre said “Hearing loss is a real issue in the UK. More often than not it's a gradual process, it's not always easy to tell if you're losing your hearing. Therefore it is so important to have your hearing assessed on a regular basis to intervene at the earliest stage possible.” To find out more information or to book an appointment, call The Hearing Care Centre on 01473 230330 or visit hearingcarecentre.co.uk/ harlestonopenday

Many of the students made some excellent birds from their tangram pieces and some went on to invent their own Easter animals.

They then presented their solution on a poster, all in the short space of an hour. They rose valiantly to the challenge. All of the students discussed ideas and pulled

The room was

The students all went


away very happy, clutching certificates and eggs as a reward for their hard work.
