Edinburgh audiologists awarded Hearing Care Practice of the Year 2025
A team of audiologists have been awarded the title of ‘Hearing Care Practice of the Year’ after winning big at the inaugural Scottish Optometry Awards.
The Specsavers audiology team at the Edinburgh Morningside store attended the awards ceremony on Saturday 15 November, having been nominated for two awards.
The award-winning hearing experts, led by audiology director and store partner Jonathan Bell, were recognised as ‘Scotland’s Hearing Care Practice of the Year 2025’ at the Glasgow ceremony.
Jonathan, alongside his partners Michael O’Kane and Joe Alubaid and the wider team of both Specsavers Morningside and Cameron Toll stores, are celebrating the win as well as being finalists in three categories at this year’s UK & Ireland Optician Awards which take place in December.
For the category at the Scottish Optometry Awards, the judging panel was specifically looking for practices which actively educate and inform patients about hearing care as well as a team who embrace and communicate the importance of collaborative multidisciplinary care.
Michael O’Kane, clinical director at Specsavers Morningside and Cameron Toll stores, says: ‘I would like to congratulate Jonathan and the hearing team who deserve this award and the recognition for their hard work, dedication and passion for hear care in the community.
‘As we approach the festive season, we want to urge people to get in touch if they think they might need our support or simply have questions about their hearing.
‘Being able to hear clearly allows for better conversations and more meaningful connections, and we want our customers to be able to enjoy their Christmas and festive season without feeling isolated or needing to withdraw from conversations because they can’t hear their family.
‘A simple hearing check could make all the difference.’
Specsavers Morningside is open Monday to Saturday 9am to 6.30pm, except for Thursday which opens at 9.30am and Saturday which closes at 6pm.
