Phonak ''Lunch & Listen'' Experience!
Feedback from Clinical Audiologist, Jenevieve Butler from Midland Hearing Care, Longford.

Being back in practice after my maternity leave, I wanted to try out a new way of engaging with some of Midland Hearing Care's current hearing aid users and new patients.

Our regional Representatives from Phonak, Eadaoin Balfe and Marie Bell provided great support to our clinic and suggested that we consider a Phonak ''Lunch & Listen'' Experience to showcase the new Phonak EON Sphere hearing aid technology.

We met 8 patients at our favourite Italian Restaurant, Vocella's - Longford Town's Main Street on Friday 23 October 2026 at 12:30pm. The team at Vocella's were excellent (Thank you Lisa!), with swift service and the food was delicious - everyone was so well looked after and helped make our event the success it was.

Lunch was provided along with a real-life experience of wearing a set of Phonak EON Sphere trial devices in a social setting with background noise.

Why Midland Hearing Care's ''Lunch & Listen'' event was so successful:
- A small group of our clinic's patients created a more personalised experience.
- We encouraged patient engagement in a relaxed, enjoyable social setting.
- Marie and Eadaoin were with us to provide ''hands-on'' support to us and our patients (Thank you for all your support Marie & Eadaoin!).
- Our patients felt more at ease with sharing their hearing journey and experiences in the moment.
- We hope that by sharing positive stories that others may be inspired to engage with our clinic, try the new Phonak EON Sphere hearing aid technology and possibly consider their readiness to proceed with hearing aid rehabilitation.

Here is some of the feedback we have received a few days after our ''Lunch Listen event:
'I am hearing things I haven't heard in years! My family have noticed the improvements in my hearing over the past few days. I am definitely considering upgrading to Phonak Eon technology.'

'Amazing technology. The television is so clear I've reduced the volume down, way down...'

'I'm so glad I waited to upgrade my hearing technology - Phonak Eon was worth the wait! Telephone calls are so clear - I'm really enjoying the bluetooth feature and phone app and can stream my tinnitus management app's through to the hearing aids too as needed. The television is very good, the volume is way down now. I could hear conversations at the other end of the table at the lunch event that I otherwise wouldn't have heard.'

This is what some of our patients are saying about Midland Hearing Care:

''Midland Hearing Care are just so friendly and professional, they look after you very well and Lydia who looked after me explains everything to you step by step. Claire and Jenevieve were very helpful too. A very good experience.'' - Padraic Prunty – ear impressions for custom ear protection

''I had a blockage in my left ear and wax removal drops wouldn't clear it.
A kind sales assistant in Boots of Longford suggested that I contact Midland Hearing Care in the town. She gave me an explanatory information leaflet with their contact details.
I phoned them on Monday 12th October 2026 at 11AM. I spoke with the practice Manager, Claire and I made an appointment for Wednesday morning at 10.30AM.
On Wednesday I arrived at the appointment time and I waited a few minutes before going into a treatment room.
I was treated by Lydia. She was courteous and reassuring. She explained the procedure step by step and she was friendly and polite. The procedure was totally painless and I felt absolutely NO discomfort. I would recommend Midland Hearing Care without any reservations.'' - David Healy - Wax removal

''I had an appointment with Jenevieve and I can only say she was exceptional in every way. She explained everything clearly and was very professional and caring. I would highly recommend Midland Hearing.'' - Geraldine Murphy Hearing Assessment & Hearing Rehabilitation

9 October 2026
''There are no words to express how grateful I am for the support, care and attention to detail I experienced throughout my entire time with Midland Hearing Care. They go above and beyond to help you through this difficult time of hearing loss to ensure the hearing aids you are given are 100% and nothing less. I am one of few who experience sound issues instead of volume and Midland Hearing did not give up when different hearing aids did not work, they worked patiently until they came up with the technology that would allow me to hear properly. I highly recommend Midland Hearing Care who have skilled, qualified professionals working there and have been so kind to me over the last few months.
It’s a credit to them that they are capable of improving my life as they have and at the same time reassuring me that it’s not my fault if one hearing aid doesn’t work but they will find one that will work. That’s exactly what they did for me and I am forever grateful.'' - Elizabeth Yorke – Phonak EON Sphere hearing aid patient

To showcase the new Phonak Audeo EON Sphere technology we have arranged an exclusive 'Lunch & Listen' event at Vocella's Longford Town on Friday 23 October 2026 for some of our new and existing hearing aid patients. We look forward to sharing the feedback from this event with you next week.

New tinnitus management treatment – Nurosym device

If you’ve been struggling with tinnitus, anxiety, lingering fatigue and ‘brain fog’ we may have a technological solution for you.

Midland Hearing Care is a provider of Auricular Vagal Neuromodulation Therapy AVNT Nurosym devices.

Nurosym is a clinically validated, non-invasive neuromodulation device designed to restore autonomic balance, through auricular (ear) vagal nerve therapy (AVNT).

How it works: Nurosym uses targeted electrical signals to activate the parasympathetic nervous system (rest and relax state) via the auricular(ear) branch of the Vagus nerve (10th Cranial nerve). These signals tell the central nervous system to dial down sympathetic nervous system activities (flight & flight).

Nurosym is particularly effective for patients seeking non-pharmacological intervention for the management of the following conditions:

General Dysregulation: Chronic stress, anxiety, tinnitus.

Complex chronic conditions: Long COVID, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome.
Functional issues: persistent ‘brain fog’, digestive issues, sleep disturbances.

Usage: Position the earpiece into the left ear and wear the device for 15-30 minutes twice daily while you work, commute or relax.

Please contact our clinic for more information on this incredible technology!

Tinnitus patient review:
'I have been using the Nurosym Device daily for 25 minutes every morning and evening since being fitted with my device. I am already seeing good results, noting that my tinnitus perception has 'toned down a good deal.' Nicholas Toher

Midland Hearing Care had the privilege of presenting an educational talk on 'Hearing well with Dementia' to the Longford branch of the Alzheimer’s Society last night, Wednesday 30th September 2026.

Our topics discussed were:
- How to look after your hearing health
- Communication tips for dealing with hearing loss
- How to support and effectively communicate with those with hearing loss and Dementia
- Hearing loss and tinnitus accessories, looking into technology to improve independence with activities of daily living and safety in the home

The event was well attended and members of the group were delighted to have the opportunity to experience a live demonstration of how assistive listening technology (FM systems) and hearing and tinnitus accessories could help improve the quality of life for a person with hearing loss and Dementia.
