New Purpose-Built Audiology Centre of Excellence for Tralee
Audiology Medical Services, a leading independent provider of hearing healthcare, has announced the opening of its purpose-built Audiology Centre of Excellence in Tralee.
This milestone marks a significant advancement for Audiology Medical Services as it merges its existing two clinics at the Bon Secours Hospital and The Scotia Clinic into one cutting-edge, state-of-the-art facility committed to audiological excellence.
Employing 60 people nationwide, Audiology Medical Services anticipates the creation of 10 additional positions with the launch of this new centre over the next two years, furthering its commitment to enhancing hearing health across Ireland.
Audiology Medical Services, an Irish-owned and operated family business led by the Lewis Family, has been at the forefront of audiology for over five decades.
With a legacy spanning two generations, the Lewis family's dedication to excellence ensures that every individual receives the highest standard of care.
The new Audiology Centre will provide comprehensive audiological services for adults and children, including babies as young as nine months.
Services will include Free Adult Hearing Tests, Adult and Paediatric Diagnostic Testing, Microsuction Ear Wax Removal, Pre-Employment Hearing Screening Testing, and the latest hearing technology, including the world’s only 100% invisible hearing aid, The Lyric.
"We are thrilled to introduce our new purpose-built Audiology Centre of Excellence in Tralee," said Kay Lewis, Director of Audiology Medical Services. "This move underscores our commitment to delivering unmatched audiological services to the people of Kerry. By consolidating our resources into one dedicated centre, we aim to provide a seamless and comprehensive service for our patients."
Audiology Medical Services has long been recognised for its dedication to innovation and patient-centric care. From pioneering techniques like Microsuction ear wax removal to offering tailored solutions from leading hearing technology manufacturers, the company continues to set the standard for hearing healthcare in Ireland. Collaborating closely with referrals from ENT specialists and GPs, it remains at the forefront of the field.
Under the leadership of Director of Audiology, Jessica Lewis, and her expert team of diagnostic audiologists, the expansion of the clinic in Kerry reaffirms Audiology Medical Services' commitment to providing patient-centered care, a dedication maintained over their 20-year presence in the region.
"Our ethos has always revolved around providing personalised, professional care using the latest technology," added Kay Lewis. "With our new centre in Tralee, we are excited to continue this tradition of excellence and to further expand our reach in serving the community."
Drivers warned as deer rutting season begins
Motorists in Killarney are being urged to exercise extreme caution as the annual deer rutting season gets underway, causing animals to stray far beyond their usual habitats inside Killarney National Park.
The autumn mating season sees deer becoming highly active and unpredictable, leading to increased sightings and collisions on local roads outside traditional park boundaries.
Two separate incidents highlighted the growing hazard on local routes this week. A reader contacted the Killarney Advertiser to warn drivers after spotting a deer roaming near Tiernaboul towards the school on Sunday afternoon around 7.30pm.
Later that same night, in the early hours of Monday morning, a local driver collided with a deer near Kerry Airport around 1am while returning home from an event.
Despite attempting evasive action, the motorist struck the animal, which died at the scene and temporarily blocked the road before local Gardaí were alerted to clear the obstruction.
The driver sustained substantial vehicle damage, requiring repairs to the bumper, headlamp, and internal components, leaving her facing significant garage costs and time off the road.
Gardaí and road safety advocates advise motorists travelLing during early morning and late evening and remain vigilant along tree-lined routes.
