Hearing Loss and Hearing Aids
Covid 19
Level 3 Rules
Level 3
Under alert level 3 some face-to-face appointments may be provided for urgent care appointments, but only so long as clinicians can take appropriate measures to manage public health risks.
Our hearing aid suppliers are still operating a repair service, so we can still send and receive aids via courier services
Clinicians are expected to use a high level of clinical judgement when considering whether a patient meets the urgent criteria for a
face to-face consultation.
This means that we may be able to see you to service your hearing aids following the level 3 guidelines
Mask must be worn
Maintain a 2 m distance between us
Your clinician may wear some form of PPE – such as surgical masks and gloves
I will call into the office every other day to check mail/ phone messages, deal with courier packages (incoming and outgoing)
Please contact me if you wish to attend in Hamilton during level 3 restrictions
Phone: 07 853 7874 and leave a voice message

What's your favourite recipe for courgettes?
Kia ora neighbours. If you've got a family recipe for courgettes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our January 2025 issue.
What do you think will change once Hamilton overtakes the capital?
How long it’ll take depends on who you ask and you can measure it in years, elections, or Rugby world cups.
But Hamilton City will eventually be home to more people than Wellington City - likely in somewhere between 24 or 34 years according to Statistics NZ and Waikato University.
What do you think will change once Hamilton overtakes the capital? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
