A former TT star is urging people to look after their ears, after being exposed to roaring engines resulted in permanent hearing damage.
Racer turned commentator Steve Parrish says during his career, he would shun ear protectors as he revved and tweaked the engine, unaware it would result in long-term problems.
Now an ambassador for Hidden Hearing, he is calling on fellow riders and bike fans to make sure they take advantage of specialist equipment the company offers.
Steve says he has already benefited from using protection from Hidden Hearing, a leading specialist provider of hearing tests and high-quality hearing aid technology.
If anyone would like advice they can get in touch with Hidden Hearing by calling 617863, home visits are also available.
