Who am I…
A little bit of information about me and my story so far…
My name is Mike Canham. I am an HCPC registered Hearing Aid Audiologist and Ear Care Specialist with 10 years hands-on experience in the highly skilled profession of looking after ears and hearing.
I live in the beautiful village of Hockley in the beautiful county of Essex with my wife Jennie, our daughter Chloe and triplet sons, Joshua, Oliver and Elliot. I started my journey in Audiology after being prompted by Jennie, (who has been a private Audiologist for 20+ years). I took the plunge, trained hard and came out of it with my professional Audiology qualification.
I then worked for some large national and smaller independent hearing care providers, building upon my knowledge and understanding of caring for individuals’ ears.
In 2020, our son, Joshua was unfortunately diagnosed with some medical difficulties. He is now under the ongoing care of the fabulous Great Ormond Street Hospital. This meant I could not carry-on working a normal ‘9-5’ due to the frequency of his appointments at GOSH. By this time, I was more than used to working with ears. Plus, I was fully trained and experienced in microsuction earwax removal, so I decided to start my own earwax removal service – Apex Hearing Health!
Doing this meant I was able to provide the residents of my home county of Essex with a service, that until now has been largely absent. Plus, it gave me the flexibility of being able to attend Joshua’s many hospital appointments, but still provide for my family.
Always striving to improve
Furthering my professional knowledge.
In 2021 I attended the highly specialised Clearwax (Ltd) program in earwax removal. This training furthered my professional knowledge and understanding of what first class ear care looks like. In August 2021 I proudly received an accreditation by the very highly respected Mr Neel Raithatha (Consultant Audiologist) at Clearwax (Ltd) in ear care and earwax removal.
I look forward to meeting you on my travels….
