Welcoming Dr Daniel

Welcoming Dr Daniel

Hello there! My name is Dr. Oluyinka Daniel Eniola, and I am thrilled to welcome you to have
a read about myself. It’s been quite the experience to get here and I’m excited to share my
insights, personal experiences and passion for ear care and audiology with you.

Quite an introduction!!!

Let me begin by giving you a glance into my background. I’m a Medical Doctor who
graduated from the prestigious Francisco Q Duque Medical Foundation In the Philippines.
The enriching experience both from the wonderful nation of the Philippines and the
education I received served as a bedrock for my healthcare career. After earning my degree
in Medicine, I realised, that healthcare is not only at the individual level, it starts from the
community and extends globally, this led me to pursue a Master's in Public Health and
Health Promotions at Leeds Beckett University in the United Kingdom. This education
broadened my knowledge of the importance of healthcare at the community level.
My journey didn’t stop there, Prior to my Medical Degree, I earned a Bachelor's Degree In
Biology from Lyceum Northwestern University,` which equipped me with a strong foundation
in life sciences.


Why Ear Care and Audiology?
You might wonder why I chose to specialise in ear care and audiology. Well, the human
sense of hearing is a remarkable gift, and it's something many of us take for granted until we
face issues with our ears. Hearing is not just about perceiving sounds; it's about
communication, experiencing the world around us, and maintaining a high quality of life. Ear
care and audiology play a crucial role in preserving and enhancing this precious sense.
Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of helping countless clients regain their
hearing or manage ear-related conditions. These experiences have not only reinforced my
passion for this field but have also ignited a desire to educate and empower individuals to
prioritise their ear health.

Appointments for wax removal with Dr Daniel can be booked at both our Harrogate and Ilkley practices. Book here

Hearing aids in 2024

Hearing aids in 2024

As we start to wrap up 2023 it is an excellent time to reflect upon the technology we have experienced and look forward to the technology that is to come.
We went into 2023 with hearing aids that had advanced Bluetooth capabilities; the ability to stream music, audiobooks and phone calls with the tap of the ear. Remote microphones, that could stream over many meters, and rechargeable hearing aids that would easily last for 24 hours.
So what has 2023 brought us? We now have the tiniest completely in the canal (CIC) rechargeable hearing aids with the Signia Silk IX. We have the complex processing abilities of the Oticon Real. And the versatility of the Widex Sound assist.


Looking forward, what could be on the agenda for 2024?


My prediction would be new releases from Phonak and Widex. Phonak tends to work on a 2-year cycle, Widex 4; and with releases in 2022 and 2020 respectively it feels like it could be time for something new. I suspect Phonak will be released in late Summer/ Autumn, and Widex in Spring/ Summer.


But what could new releases include? My first guess would be compatibility with AuraCast, the next generation of Bluetooth with audio broadcasting, allowing listening to be shared. I would also like to see more advancements in polar plots and dynamic listening soundscapes, allowing hearing aids even more flexibility to adapt based on a changing acoustic environment. With gimmicks, I suspect we will see more options to translate from different languages.


We won’t know what 2024 will bring until it arrives, but the world of technology is putting more and more emphasis on the listening experience, and I’m confident that this will be to the benefit of people who wear hearing aids.

An introduction to lip reading

An introduction to lip reading.

With Advanced Audiologist, and Lip Reading Teacher; Helena Milnes.

Hearing loss can impact anyone. For some, it is something they are born with, for others it can be acquired during their life. On occasion, it is caused by illness, a love of music or just a life well lived.

Whilst we have no miraculous cure to restore hearing, living well with hearing loss is a realistic goal. Many assume that a hearing aid will bring back sound to the levels we remember. But for some this needs to be coupled with gadgets, auditory training and lip reading classes.

Helena talks more about lip reading in her article in the Yorkshire Post

At The Hearing Suite we look at all of these things, with an aim to getting your hearing back on track, so we are delighted to launch a 6-week
