New hearing aid is great - and only costed $380 online

Bruce from Takaro

- I was expecting to pay about $2,000 per ear, but checked online, and sure enough, found a good option at about a quarter that price
- 'Thrilled with it. 'Good, crisp hearing after decades of gradually muffling of my hearing.
- This is where I got it... bit.ly...
- Took it out of the box, simply put the battery in, put it in my half-dead left ear (50 years of industrial noise, motorcycle wind noise, circular saws, hammers, guitar and banjo playing, traffic, etc.) Bingo, now I've got better hearing in that ear than my right ear. 'Might get one for that later.
- By the way, don't forget you can get spectacles online at very good prices, e.g. my quite good progressive lenses and frame, bought Sept 2021 from EyeBuyDirect, costed NZ$298 and I've just orrded another pair, total $135 at the Zenottic store at AliExpress too, two weeks ago. But shop around, you might outdo that. =)

What's one highway or road that needs attention?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

We've all been on a summer roadie and experienced first-hand the state of our roads.

If you've ever been stuck in a summer traffic jam, had near-misses on dangerous turns or feared for your life on clifftops (while the car behind you is tail-gating!) - you may have an opinion on this one.

Tell us what main road or highway you think needs some serious attention across the country, and why!
