FREE hearing tests offered for young children
Hi,
Does you preschooler ignore you when you speak to them or is their speech less clear than other children their age? Maybe they have a hearing loss.
We are offering FREE hearing tests to children aged between 3 years and 5 years 11 months of age.at the University of Auckland Audiology Clinic at Grafton Campus. All children will be tested by Audiology students under the supervision of an experienced paediatric Audiologist (me). You will have the results explained to you on the day, plus you will be given a copy of your childs test results. This is NOT a screening test, it is a full diagnostic assessment.
Our clinic is opposite Auckland hospital so it is close to public transport routes plus we can offer free parking in our building if you prefer to drive in.
These appointments will only be offered until mid October, so get in quickly. If interested, please e-mail Sharon Mein Smith on s.meinsmith@auckland.ac.nz and I'll send you further some information and put you in touch with the clinic so that you can make an appointment. We even have appointments available over the next two weeks during the school holidays! Please feel free to share this with any friends or family who may be interested.

🪱🐦 When are you the most productive? 🌙🦉
The Post has been diving into our daily habits, and research suggests being an early bird or a night owl isn’t just a choice—it’s biology! We all have that specific time when our brains finally "click" into gear.
This raises a big question for the modern workplace. To get the best out of everyone, should employers accommodate our natural body clocks? This idea is at the heart of the four-day work week and flexible scheduling movements.
We want to hear from you:
1. When does your brain "click" into gear?
2. Would a flexible (or shortened) schedule change the way you work?
Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓
In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
35.8% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
64.2% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
