🩺 Your Hearing Care Just Got More Comprehensive!

At Hearing Institute, we believe your hearing journey should be as simple and seamless as possible.

That's why we're so proud to announce that we have an Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) Specialist as part of our on-site team.

Hearing health is complex. Sometimes, a hearing challenge requires a medical expert. By having an ENT specialist in our clinic, we can provide you with:

Immediate access to medical or surgical opinions.

A collaborative team approach for complex cases.

The convenience of seeing your audiologist and your ENT in one familiar place.

Your hearing is our top priority. This is just one more way we're investing in your total health and well-being.

That's right—no more: ✅ Arriving for your hearing test, only to find your ears are blocked. ✅ Having to make a separate trip just for wax removal. ✅ Delaying your hearing aid adjustments.

Now, you can get a clear ear canal and an accurate hearing test, all in one efficient, convenient visit.

As we head deeper into spring, the familiar crackle and boom of Guy Fawkes night will be here before we know it. While the colourful displays are a sight to behold, the sound can be a real double-edged sword. On one hand, those explosions are loud enough to potentially damage your hearing, so it's crucial to protect your ears (and your kid's ears!) if you're watching a display. On the other hand, if you've noticed the whizz and bang have started to sound more like a dull fizz and thud, it could be a sign you're missing out on the high-frequency sounds. This year, lets enjoy the sights and be smart about the sounds!

Whether you need advice on hearing protection or want to check what you might be missing, send us a message or give us a call on 09 283 0200.

P.S - Don't forget to keep the pets safe inside, their hearing matters to! 🐾

Why should the kids get all the Halloween fun? For many of us, it's a great excuse for a costume party and a catch-up with mates. But let's be honest, there's nothing spookier than being at a party with great music and good company and only being able to hear a jumble of background noise. Trying to follow a conversation over the monster mash can be a real nightmare! Modern hearing aids are designed for exactly these tricky situations, helping to dial down the distracting sounds and zero in on the chat you want to hear. Don't let hearing loss be the ghost at your part this year, send us a message to get your hearing checked before the spooky season is in full swing!

With the shops already filling up with spooky decorations, we know many little ones are getting excited for Halloween! From the excited whispers about costumes to the all-important shout of "Trick or Treat!", so much of the fun is in the sounds of the night. But for a child with an undetected hearing issue, some of that magic can get lost. They might miss instructions, seem a little withdrawn in a group, or struggle to hear the faint knock on the next door. If you have any concerns at all about your childs hearing or their speech development, a quick and painless hearing check is the best way to get peace of mind before the big night. Lets make sure their only challenge this Halloween is deciding which lolly to eat first!

Can you believe Labour Weekend is just around the corner? It's the unofficial start of summer for many Kiwis, with plans for family BBQs, a bit of gardening, or a trip to the Bach already in the works. Amidst all the planning, its a great time to think about the sounds that make these weekends special: the sizzle on the BBQ, the laughter from your grandkids, and the easy-going chat with friends. If you've been feeling like you're missing the punchline or asking people to repeat themselves, now is the perfect time to act. There's still plenty of time to get a hearing health check before the holiday arrives, ensuring you're ready to hear every single precious moment of the long weekend.

Being a local, independent, family run clinic we understand the importance of making memories with our family. Click on the link below to book your appointment or call us on 09 283 0200.
