About

Rian Breathnach, a Galway native from Spiddal, joined Blackberry Hearing in 2018 after completing his BSc in Audiology at Athlone IT.
Passionate about improving quality of life through better hearing, Rian finds his work deeply rewarding: “Hearing loss is an invisible barrier to communication, and every day I see the impact it can have on people’s lives. Helping to overcome that is why I couldn’t imagine myself doing anything else.”
At Blackberry Hearing, Rian values the strong customer care ethos and the opportunity to provide patients with access to the latest hearing aid technology at great prices.
A fluent Irish speaker, Rian is also a regular visitor to the Gaeltacht region, where he enjoys connecting with the local community.

“Evidence-based care tailored to each patient — taking the time to explain options and shared decisions.”
