Hearing home visits service to serve Teesside as optician expands its business
A new hearing home visits service has launched in Teesside as Specsavers has expanded its offering to customers.
The Teesside home visits business is now a fully-fledged audiology service provider, offering a full range of hearing services to people in the region, and also in parts of Sunderland, County Durham and Cumbria.
The move has brought with it new staff as Graham Greenwell takes on the role of audiology director and Jake Pilkiw as customer service director, with plans to recruit further.
A part of the existing Newcastle Specsavers Home Visits business, which offers optical treatments to cover the entirety of Cumbria and Northumberland, the Teesside audiology service joins the pre-existing audiology arm for Northumberland.
The business will provide services such as hearing checks, hearing device fittings and ear wax removal to those who are unable to travel to a store.
Teesside home visits audiology director, Graham Greenwell, says: ‘We are absolutely delighted to have launched our audiology home visits service in conjunction with the existing optics business and our colleagues in Northumberland.
‘The upgrade to the service translates to more provision for our valued customers and those in the Teesside area who are seeking help with their hearing.
‘This move should allow us to provide even more expert care to people across the region.’
The new service will cover catchment areas including Hartlepool, Middlesbrough, Stockton, Bishop Auckland, Darlington, Redcar, Barnard Castle, Richmond, Guisborough and Staithes.
There is also NHS service provision for Tees Valley and Durham.
The Specsavers Home Visits teams can also visit patients in care homes and sheltered housing
