Dear Readers Happy New Year!

Suite 159, 80 Churchill Square Business Centre, Kings Hill, West Malling, Kent ME19 4YU Jane Accounts/Sales m: 07912 878830 t: 01732 521494 Anna Artwork/Sales m: 07939 248983 t: 01732 795777 info@thelocaloracle.co.uk www.thelocaloracle.co.uk

January is traditionally a time of year to make a fresh start, make resolutions and promises to ourselves to have a better year. Why should 2022 be any different? We have many new advertisers to help you.

We are really excited to now be partners of the Kings Hill Football Club. The Partnership helps generate much needed funds for the club and came together to sponsor the ‘Jets’ team for players with special education needs (SEN) as-well as generating required funds for the frame football team. If you would like to join us, please do get in touch.

DON’T FORGET TO MENTION THE LOCAL ORACLE

FEATURE PAGE

Does that mask affect your hearing?

Pardon? Have you ever noticed that it is harder to hear someone clearly when they are wearing a mask? If the answer is “Yes” then read on.

At Hearing Matters we know how much a hearing loss can impact upon quality of life and we are passionate about helping people to improve their hearing.

There are two main reasons why it might be harder to hear someone wearing a mask.

The first is due to the mask physically blocking some of the sound. When we speak, our speech consists of a range of different frequencies along a spectrum. Some of the higher frequencies are absorbed by a mask. A lot of the detail in the clarity of the speech comes from these high frequency sounds. This can make speech seem muffled.

Furthermore, facial expressions go a long way towards conveying meaning in our communication. There are thousands of minute changes in our facial expression which another person interprets subconsciously. Often, when someone has a hearing loss, they rely more on these facial cues. Wearing a mask blocks some of these cues. Therefore it is even more important to try to preserve the details in speech.

Modern hearing aids available at Hearing Matters have significantly improved hearing for people in these situations. The latest hearing aid technology, when fitted accurately to an individual prescription, can enhance the details in the speech that are muffled by a mask. This means that if you have a hearing loss, whether it be mild, moderate or severe, you can experience clearer hearing and can communicate more easily with our hearing aids.

For a free hearing test and a free demonstration of the latest hearing aid technology, or if you would like to book an appointment for ear wax removal, please contact Mrs Samantha Fairchild MSc at Hearing Matters (Maidstone) Ltd.

Tel: 01732 494 066 Email: info@hearingmattersltd.co.uk Website: www.hearingmattersltd.co.uk Please note, the purpose of this article is not to debate the necessity of mask wearing; it is merely to highlight and explain a potential difficultly and offer assistance to improve communication whilst wearing masks.

PERSONAL & LEISURE

Join the KHFC Business Partnership Do you represent a business in Kent that would like to support our local community football club and build relationships with some fantastic people?

We created the business partnership in 2019 and now have members from over 40 organisations.

This grew throughout lockdown and we now meet on a monthly basis alternating between online zoom sessions and face to face lunches at local venues and offices.​ The Partnership helps generate much needed funds for the club and came together to sponsor the ‘Jets’ team for players with special education needs (SEN) as-well as generating required funds for the frame football team.
