Durham Hearing Specialists

Durham Hearing Specialists is run by our Director of Audiology Mr. Conor

Boland, and is the clinician responsible for ensuring we meet best practice

guidelines and have the latest cutting edge equipment available to our

patients.

​Conor started studying Audiology in 2007 at the University of

Southampton. After completing internships at two London hospitals, he joined the NHS to work with hearing impaired adults and children. He also became heavily involved in charity work and became a Trustee of the Royal National Institute for the Deaf. After gaining experience in the field, Conor went to Africa in 2013 on a short mission with the charity Sound Seekers. Whilst in Cameroon he was able to set up equipment and train staff to help a number of adults and children hear properly for the first time using refurbished NHS hearing aids.

After returning to the UK and working in several public and private

sector roles, Conor became a certified microsuction trainer and currently

teaches GPs, Nurses and other Audiologists how to perform ear wax

removal.

In 2019 he set up Durham Hearing Specialists with the goal of providing

personalised, expert care to people with hearing disorders.

"Working with cutting edge technology is a joy when I can use it to help someone hear better. Looking after my patients and ensuring they can always see me for care is my first priority, and making Durham Hearing

Specialists known for worldclass expertise in treating hearing disorders is the

second."

​Conor sees patients in our Barnard Castle and Stockton clinics throughout the week.
