In Brief:
FREEDOM Clinics, which was established by Yorkshire businessmen Andrew Thirkill and David Hood in 2009 to provide specialist back and sports injury treatment, has extended its services into hearing care.
The clinic can now provide specialist care and advice on hearing loss, tinnitus, hyperacusis (over sensitivity to sound), obscure auditory dysfunction, balance disorders, dizziness and digital hearing aid technology.
A team of audiologists led by Jon Tandy provides the services.
To facilitate these services Freedom has invested in state of the art audiology equipment so patients will experience the best possible outcomes.
