FREE hearing tests offered to adults with hearing loss.
Hi everyone,
The University of Auckland Audiology Section is offering FREE hearing tests for adults with hearing loss at Grafton Campus (opposite Auckland Hospital) for 4 weeks from mid July to mid August. This is the last opportunity to secure a FREE appointment this year.
These appointments are being offered as part of the training programme for Master of Audiology students. All appointments are 90 minutes in duration as they are complete diagnostic evaluations, not screening tests. Assessments will be conducted by first year Master of Audiology students under the full supervision of senior Audiologists. All volunteers will get a full explanation of their test results on the day, a copy of the results to take with them and some advice on the next steps if any follow up appointments are required.
Free parking is available if required. We are also close to public transport routes.
If you or someone you know is concerned about their hearing and would like to take up this opportunity, please fill out the patient information sheet which is embedded in the attached flyer and e-mail it to clinics@auckland.ac.nz. The clinic will then contact you to make an appointment.
This is a limited time opportunity, so please get in touch ASAP to avoid disappointment, if you’d like to take part. Please feel free to pass this invitation onto anyone you know who may be interested in assisting us with our student teaching.
We're talking new year resolutions...
Tidying the house before going to bed each night, meditating upon waking or taking the stairs at work.
What’s something quick, or easy, that you started doing that made a major positive change in your life?
Poll: Would you rather: Christmas in summer forever or winter forever?
Just a bit of a fun poll to get you thinking.
If you had to live out your Christmas days, would you prefer it was a summer Christmas or a winter Christmas?

62.8% Summer

35.8% Winter

1.4% Other - I'll share below
⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
