Ireland’s leading independent hearing healthcare company, Audiology Medical Services (AMS), has opened a new clinic in Killarney on Scott’s Street.
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.

A new initiative from Kilcummin Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann in association with Conor Moriarty sees the branch offer group music classes for those interested in traditional playing.
Conor is combining with the branch to gather musicians form beginner to advanced to give the ultimate group music experience.
“Its a great chance for newer players to learn from Conor, who himself is a champion musician but also from the other musicians that will attend the group in what undoubtedly will also offer a social outlet to all involved,” said Derek O Leary, PRO of Kilcummin Comhaltas CCE.
Conor has enormous previous experience. He is one of Irelands leading accordion players starting his playing career at the age seven. In 2009, Conor was crowned All-Ireland Champion on Melodeon at Fleadh Cheoil na hEireann and followed that up by becoming senior All-Ireland accordion Champion in 2010.
He also completed his MA in Irish traditional music performance at University Limerick that same year. He has worked professionally with many organisations including Siamsa Tire and more recently Gaelic Roots the show. He is also a much sought after music teacher where he has always enjoyed passing on his knowledge to the next generation.
The group sessions start on September 27 for an initial five-week term from 6.30 pm to 7.30 pm in Kilcummin Rural Development Office.
