Help us to get our message heard

Carolynne Riley from

Did you know that Hastings Hearing offers a FREE EDUCATION PROGRAM on the prevention of Noise Induced Hearing Loss?
Many people in our community are not aware that noise induced hearing loss is 100% preventable! Help us to get this message heard.
We provide fun, interactive FREE presentations to pre-schools, schools, educators and community groups. By equipping children with the knowledge they need to protect their hearing we are providing a form of early intervention which will hopefully lead to a reduction of this type of hearing loss in our community. We want more people to appreciate a life with sound.
Phone to book a free presentation or you can support our registered charity by becoming a member or kindly giving a donation.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.

Cleaning a heat pump

Barbara from Raureka

Hi everyone. Can anyone recommend a reliable and reasonable company to clean our heat pump. We used it on cold for a couple of days and when turning it back to warm it has a smell. We get it serviced yearly but the firm we use is expensive.
