Located at the ‘Killarney GP’, this new clinic is part of AMS continued expansion plans for Kerry, with clinics already in the Bon Secours Hospital and Scotia House in Tralee.

“We are delighted and proud to be opening a new clinic in the heart of Killarney," Chief Operating Officer of Audiology Medical Service, Kay Lewis, said.

"It will now allow us to provide a full diagnostic, adult and paediatric audiology service to clients based in South and East Kerry with this new Killarney clinic, as well as North and West Kerry with our existing Tralee clinics.”

Director of Audiology, Jessica Lewis, will be leading the Audiology team on site in Killarney. She has extensive experience of working with both adults and children, bringing with her an enthusiasm in audiology and microsuction ear wax removal, as well as an appetite for keeping up with the latest advancements in hearing aid technology.

A family-owned business, Audiology Medical Services is leading the way in Ireland when it comes to the provision of expert and comprehensive child-centred and family-friendly diagnostic audiological assessment of infants, children and adolescents.

At the forefront of hearing care, Audiology Medical Services constantly strive to introduce innovative techniques and practices to their comprehensive range of services. This includes microsuction; a quick, comfortable, safe, and effective way of ear wax removal, while as an independent hearing healthcare company, Audiology Medical Services also have the luxury of not being tied to any single hearing technology manufacturer. This means they can provide each patient the best hearing solutions to suit both their budget and individual needs.

"Our ethos is always to provide a professional service in a clinical setting, using the latest technology available, and that’s exactly what we will be doing at our new clinic in Killarney," Kay added.

"Our experienced audiology team are expertly trained and are members of the Irish Society of Hearing Aid Audiologists (ISHAA) and the Irish Academy of Audiology (IAA). Their training is continuous, so we can provide the best in audiology health care."

Hearing can easily be taken for granted, but it is vital that a hearing test becomes part of your annual health check-up. Audiology Medical Services offer free adult hearing screening tests at all their clinics nationwide including their new Killarney clinic.

Cllrs demand meeting with HSE property officials

Published

Killarney councillors are seeking an urgent face-to-face meeting with the HSE to prevent the town’s health infrastructure from falling into further decay.

At Wednesday’s Municipal District meeting, Cllr Maura Healy-Rae raised a motion calling for clarity on the HSE’s long-term plans for its significant property holdings within the town.


The focus of the concern is the sprawling St Finan’s Hospital site, which has been lying derelict since the facility closed its doors in 2012.


Despite sitting on prime land, the Victorian structure has remained idle for 14 years with no progress on redevelopment.


While the new Community Nursing Unit has been built on a portion of the St Finan’s grounds, the vast majority of the historic site continues to deteriorate.


The concern among local representatives is that a “domino effect” of dereliction could follow once the new hospital eventually opens.


When residents are transferred to the new unit, both the existing Killarney District Hospital and the St Columbanus Home (the proposed new home for a minor injuries unit) will be vacated.
Cllr Healy-Rae and her colleagues are demanding guarantees that these buildings will not suffer the same fate as St Finan’s.


Without a clear strategy from the HSE, there are fears that Killarney could be left with multiple large-scale derelict sites in prominent locations, rather than seeing these buildings repurposed for housing, community use, or further healthcare needs.

The usual morning routine was swapped for slippers and dressing gowns at Maggie’s Montessori last Friday as the children took part in the annual National Pyjama Day.

The local event was held in support of LauraLynn, Ireland’s Children’s Hospice, and Early Childhood Ireland’s Eco-Emotions project.
The theme for the day was “children helping children and having fun,” with the Killarney toddlers joining over 65,000 children nationwide in the massive fundraising drive. Since its inception in 2003, National Pyjama Day has raised more than €4.5 million to support developmental and wellbeing projects for young people across the country.
Funds raised during the day at Maggie’s will go directly toward LauraLynn’s Family Support Services. These services provide essential emotional, therapeutic, and practical care for children with palliative and complex needs, as well as their families.
Teresa Heeney, CEO of Early Childhood Ireland, noted that the day is a celebration of kindness and community. This sentiment was echoed by LauraLynn CEO Kerry McLaverty, who stated that the spirit of children helping their peers aligns perfectly with the mission of the hospice.
