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. =)

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
