Our Audiologist at Val Hughes
Christina Clack
Professional
After completing a BSc in Audiology in 2010 Christina went on to work as an Audiologist in the NHS before deciding to move into private practice. Experience working with a world-leading hearing aid manufacturer, developed her knowledge and technical skills, which are now usefully applied to selecting the optimum hearing aid settings for each individual patient. She feels passionately about helping people to understand their hearing health and utilising technology to improve their quality of life.
Health & Personal
Outside of work Christina’s favourite thing to do is spend time with family. She also enjoys a game of tennis, playing the piano and going to the gym every now and then!
Wax removal in Preston
If left untreated, excess wax can be uncomfortable and painful. We all need it to protect our ears from dirt and germs, but if you are producing too much wax, blockages can become a cause for concern. Getting this wax removed can prevent hearing loss, ear infections and tinnitus, particularly if you are a hearing aid user, so it's important to book in for a professional wax removal regularly.
Why book a free hearing test?
Getting your hearing tested is important for diagnosing hearing loss. The sooner we diagnose hearing loss, the sooner we can get to work slowing down its progress. Whatever your requirements, our experts will be on hand to deliver a personalised aftercare plan and support you through your journey to better hearing. We offer a range of hearing protection and hearing aids to suit your needs, and with a 5-year warranty and lifetime aftercare, you can always rely on Val Hughes to provide the care you deserve.
Customer Reviews
Hear from our happy customers...
The hearing aids are unnoticeable and the quality of hearing is so much better than with any of the hearing aids I’ve had before – in all environments. I am delighted with them.
Elaine
Just like to say how pleased I am with the service and the quality of the product recommended, all working very well, plus the cost was 20% cheaper that cost the device recommend by another independent supplier.
Ian Tidey
Having just returned from my first” check up” following the fitting of my new hearing aids about a month ago I just wanted to tell you how delighted I am not only with my hearing aids but also with the overall level of service that you have given me.
