Independent clinic with 30+ years of experience - Reply

Matt from Henderson

Hi everyone, Matt here. Just want to say, now that we have Youtube and many other video sharing sites this day in age. There are now lots of different vids on hearing loss that you can use for your particular type of hearing. I can give you one or two links if they are helpful for anyone. Note: These will help with your hearing a lot but if you are still going to a ear clinic, keep going if you are needing to go, I'm not here to stop anyone from going to see a specialist. That's is what I'm not writing this post about. I'm just writing this post to see if anyone does listen to these hearing improvement sounds, will see if they have had improvement in their hearing, that's all. I hope that your hearing will help with these sounds.

To finish off, I would recommend, if you are listening with your laptop or computer, put your main volume down to about half the volume, than start the hearing sound. If you are using a Ipad, or smartphone or any other smart device, maybe just put your main volume down slightly more lower, put the hearing sound on then adjust your volume when needed.

Here are the links that I have from Youtube:

These are just two videos for all to use. If you want more, just on Youtube, they will have vid available for you to use. You just need to pick which one suits you for your hearing.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?

Even Australians get it - so why not Kiwis???

Markus from Green Bay

“Ten years ago, if a heatwave as intense as last week’s record-breaker had hit the east coast, Australia’s power supply may well have buckled. But this time, the system largely operated as we needed, despite some outages.

On Australia’s main grid last quarter, renewables and energy storage contributed more than 50% of supplied electricity for the first time, while wholesale power prices were more than 40% lower than a year earlier.

[…] shifting demand from gas and coal for power and petrol for cars is likely to deliver significantly lower energy bills for households.

Last quarter, wind generation was up almost 30%, grid solar 15% and grid-scale batteries almost tripled their output. Gas generation fell 27% to its lowest level for a quarter century, while coal fell 4.6% to its lowest quarterly level ever.

Gas has long been the most expensive way to produce power. Gas peaking plants tend to fire up only when supply struggles to meet demand and power prices soar. Less demand for gas has flowed through to lower wholesale prices.”

If even Australians see the benefit of solar - then why is NZ actively boycotting solar uptake? The increased line rental for electricity was done to make solar less competitive and prevent cost per kWh to rise even more than it did - and electricity costs are expected to rise even more. Especially as National favours gas - which is the most expensive form of generating electricity. Which in turn will accelerate Climate Change, as if New Zealand didn’t have enough problems with droughts, floods, slips, etc. already.
