Choosing the right hearing technology for you

Clinical Audiologist Dr Peter O'Brien AuD MNZAS Audiology Associates

Choosing the right hearing technology depends on:
- Your level of hearing loss
- Your lifestyle
- Your budget

Hearing Aids come in various models; they can fit in the ear ITE/RITE, snugly in the canal ITC/RIC or behind the ear BTE. They are small and discreet and you can usually choose from a range of colours - match to skin/hair or choose to stand out from the crowd! There are also a variety of devices which connect to particular models of hearing aid; these may be customized to fit your unique hearing needs, and enhance your listening experiences on mobile phones and to assist listening to TV etc.

The team at Audiology Associates are happy to consult with you to help you decide what is right for you – we will provide no obligation quotes and an opportunity to trial*. We are always very happy to help with all of your hearing needs.

Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? 🕰️

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.

While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.

And why? Some evidence suggests the time changes are bad for our health as they mess with sleep patterns leading to short-term fatigue and affecting mood. Meanwhile the hour change is frustrating for farmers and a nightmare for getting the littlies to sleep. But what's your take?

For some, online booking is very convenient, you can make an appointment anytime without needing to wait on the phone. Others still prefer calling the clinic and speaking to a real person, especially if they have specific questions about their visit.

Your feedback helps us understand what works best for our patients and how we can improve access to care.
