On 25 May 2026, The Telegraph published "Eight Simple Ways to Boost Your Hearing (Without a Hearing Aid)", written by Vincent Howard, Director of Audiology and Clinical Audiologist at Hearology®. It was a chance to talk to a much wider audience about something we at Hearology® think about every day: your ears.
A simple opportunity, well used
There was no grand strategy behind this. The Telegraph got in touch, and it made sense to say yes. For us, moments like this matter. Raising awareness of ear health has always been part of what we set out to do at Hearology®, and seeing that mission reach a national audience feels like a genuine milestone for us.
"We were delighted that The Telegraph chose to work with us on this article, as it gave us a much bigger audience to reach," says Vincent Howard, Co-Founder and Clinical Audiologist at Hearology®. "It felt like a significant moment in our development as a company. A good reminder that the work we do every day matters beyond the walls of the room it happens in.”
Hearing loss is easy to miss
Hearing loss tends to sneak up on people. You don’t typically wake up one day and suddenly notice it. Instead, your brain quietly adapts. You lip-read a bit more, turn the television up a notch, or ask people to repeat themselves without really registering how often it happens. According to the Royal National Institute for Deaf People (RNID), around 18 million UK adults, roughly one in three, now have hearing problems or tinnitus, and many wait years before doing anything about it.
Ear health doesn't get talked about in the same way as eyesight or dental health, even though it plays just as big a part in how you connect with the people around you. We think it's time to take the mystery out of it. Understanding your hearing should feel just as simple and unintimidating as looking after your teeth and eyes.
Why we wanted to be part of it
Getting more people to talk and think about their hearing is something we care about at Hearology®. If someone reads that article and decides to book a hearing check they had otherwise been putting off, then that means something to us - whether they book with us or somewhere else.
Same care, bigger platform
If you have already visited one of our clinics, you will know our approach: clear explanations, no jargon, and the time taken to really listen to you. Being featured in a national paper doesn't change any of that, it just means we get to share our expertise with a few more people.
