Are you experiencing hearing problems?
Hearing loss is not limited to old age — it can happen to anyone. It is also common in children and young professionals, especially those exposed to loud noises. When you experience hearing troubles, it greatly affects your lifestyle and how you interact with the people around you.
If you are having a hard time hearing, do not delay treatment. Start your recovery journey with FREE hearing checks from Audiology Associates.
How to Detect Possible Hearing Loss
Hearing loss is a gradual process; most people do not notice their condition for years until it suddenly occurs. You might have experienced some warning signs: friends telling you to turn down the volume of your stereo or you frequently asking people to repeat what they said.
Gradual hearing loss approximately takes seven years before the patient realises the condition. Most individuals realise their troubles a moment too late, which results in expensive treatments. Love your hearing by addressing the issue now. Make an appointment with us for one of Auckland’s trusted hearing tests.
Starting the Journey with a Hearing Test
Your journey to better hearing starts with a simple diagnostic hearing test. This test determines your hearing levels, giving you an idea of your current condition. It also reflects the hearing capacity of both ear and which sounds you can hear without difficulty. Your first hearing test is an important baseline—this helps your audiologist plot your treatment plan.
If the results of your hearing test suggest the need for hearing devices, our team will make the right recommendations for you.

Even Australians get it - so why not Kiwis???
“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.
Time to Tickle Your Thinker 🧠
If a zookeeper had 100 pairs of animals in her zoo, and two pairs of babies are born for each one of the original animals, then (sadly) 23 animals don’t survive, how many animals do you have left in total?
