Optics and audiology Home Visits service launches engaging listening program
Following a successful expansion into audiology services, the team at Specsavers Fife and Forth Valley Home Visits are launching a new initiative, aimed at community groups and organisations.
The team is launching Listen Bingo - fun, interactive sessions designed to get people talking about their hearing in a relaxed, social setting.
Using a simple bingo style game, participants will listen out for everyday sounds and words, helping to highlight common hearing difficulties without the pressure of a formal test.
Pauline Jones, customer service director and trainee wax specialist at Specsavers Fife and Forth Valley Home Visits, says: ‘Listening Bingo allows us to engage with residents in an accessible and enjoyable way.
‘We can build trusted relationships and offer clear signposting to professional hearing care where needed.
‘We understand that for some, hearing checks can be nerve-wrecking. That’s why we want to introduce a new path into hear care services, in a more relaxed and pressure-free environment, with the hope of helping more people who may not have opted to use our services before.’
The team will be running these sessions across care homes, sheltered housing and social group settings, bringing hearing awareness directly into the local communities they operate in. The team aims to spark conversations, reduce stigma around hearing loss, and encourage people to recognise when they or a loved one might benefit from further support.
Providers interested in booking a session are welcome to get in touch to secure a date.
To book an appointment or session, customers can call the office directly on 01592 804147, or the national number on 0800 089 0887.
