Welcome
We provide services for the hard of hearing and those seeking more information about hearing loss.
2023 RefinementsIn 2023, we changed our focus to prevention education. Our programme focusses on educating our communities about the risks and prevention of noise-induced hearing loss. We are active in your schools and focus on sharing this important message with our tamariki to help them create healthy habits early in life to protect their hearing for longer.

Rest Home Services - Chch
Our Rest Home Worker pays monthly visits to rest homes in Christchurch to assist our elderly community with their hearing aid needs. This is such an important service as many elderly find it difficult to have those needs met due to mobility issues.

WHAKATAUKĪ (MAORI PROVERB)
Me he wai tā tieke
Like the saddleback sprinkling itself with water. Good in moderation, but one can have too much of a good thing. There is value in moderation but danger in excess.
