Hearing Health Awareness Days

In May, Workplace Ear Care partnered up with Southampton City Council to provide a hearing health event for their staff. This hearing event helped to highlight the importance of ear and hearing health in quiet work environments.

It was great to provide on-site ear checks and hearing tests for so many members of staff. A lot of the employees hadn’t thought much about their ears before this event, or they weren’t sure who to talk to about hearing. The hearing health event enabled staff to find out more about what their hearing was up to and whether further investigation or treatment was required. There was a big understanding for the need and drive for proactive hearing tests especially when so many understood the importance of communication and hearing along with the difficulty of finding the time to leave work to have a hearing assessment carried out.

There was a great turnout which was a clear reflection of how much this service is needed and wanted by employees. Our workplace ear health wellbeing services are an innovative approach to employee engagement and employee wellbeing and it’s exciting that more wellbeing leaders are realising it’s something that’s needed!Abdoulie at Southampton City Council has such a passion for employee wellbeing and really helped to raise the awareness of the importance of hearing health to his work colleagues. It was deliberately timed to link with Deaf Awareness Week and Mental Health Awareness Week to help emphasise the strong links between hearing health and mental health.

Ear checks and hearing tests in the workplace is the true passion of Workplace Ear Care. The ability to provide on-site hearing tests to make the process of employee hearing tests simple and easy to really encourage as many staff members to have their hearing checked is a focus of Workplace Ear Care. To be raising the awareness of hearing health to employees’ and colleagues just makes providing the service even more rewarding.

It was a fantastic day raising the profile of ear and hearing health!

We’re on the lookout for likeminded Wellbeing Leaders who want to look after their staff and help the business with regard to communication, employee retention and staff morale.
