Aircraft staff offered plane and simple hearing test

A group 'Hidden Hearing' are offering free hearing tests to local airport staff.

As part of a wellness campaign tests were carried out to airport employees, security agents and airline staff in their breaks.

Audiologist of the group Sophie Oakley says it is important for everyone to have regular hearing checks, especially for those who work in noisy environments such as an airport.

As many airport staff work in shifts, it can be hard to arrange appointments so they took the initiative to bring the tests to work.

'Hidden Hearing' operates from clinics in Douglas, Ramsey and Castletown and if you would like to book a test you can contact them directly.
