We're incredibly thankful to Pub Charity Limited for their generous support.

Partnerships like this strengthen our ability to remove barriers, increase access to sound, and create lasting impact in our community. We truly appreciate their commitment to making a difference 💜

We know we’ve got a wealth of artistic talent among our kiritaki/clients at The Hearing House, and now we want you to tell us your stories about music!

Take Te Atatu-based Kathy Thomas who received her cochlear implants two years ago.She’s a self-taught singer who began singing at 18, finding her voice at a time when her experience of sound was changing. She has recorded a te reo Māori karaoke album, performed with 80’s band Ardijah, featured as a vocalist on the Meridien Energy TV commercial, and regularly contributes to our wānanga/knowledge-sharing sessions at The Hearing House.

Music is her happy place and her stress release, she says.

“I’ve always had my music to keep me grounded, but now I’m finally able to embrace sound in a way that makes me feel good.”

Kathy performed a moving waiata at our Power of Connection event in Parliament last year – you can see her singing in this clip.

We know there are other performers – singers, musicians and composers - out there, so please let us know your stories so we can make some beautiful music together!

As we mark International Cochlear Implant Day this week, we’re celebrating two of our young kiritaki/clients who've just started secondary school.

Thirteen-year-old Henry Optican is at Auckland Grammar and is learning Japanese and for the first time, Latin. He's also enjoying science and has joined a Dungeons & Dragons gaming group.

Jack Coombs, who turns fourteen today, has just started at Tauranga Boys' College and is also really enjoying science. He had his first school Athletics Day this week and was really looking forward to the 100 metres which is his favourite race.

We wish both Henry and Jack all the best for this next milestone in their education journey, and salute them for embracing secondary school life!

Today marks International Cochlear Implant Day and the power of connection 💛

The origin of cochlear implants was driven by a vision of reducing isolation and strengthening human connection. For some, they represent one of the pathways to communication, accessibility and participation.

Communication isn't a one-size-fits-all process.

It may be facilitated through cochlear implants, NZSL, spoken language, other technology, or a combination of all of these — and each pathway reflects personal identity, whānau aspirations, and informed choice.

At The Hearing House, we're a cochlear implant
programme grounded in connection first. Our role is to walk alongside our kiritaki and their whānau — supporting access to communication in the way that works best for them, and contributing to inclusive, connected communities.

✨ Here’s a look back at highlights from our Power of Connection event in Wellington last year, celebrating our Deaf, deaf, hard of hearing, and communication-diverse community.

In acknowledgement of International Cochlear Implant Day happening this week, we recognise Nick Jones, one of our audiologists at The Hearing House, who in 1995 became one of the first children in New Zealand to receive a cochlear implant at just three and a half years old. The surgery was performed by cochlear implant surgeon Dr Bill Baber.

They met up again nearly 30 years later at The Hearing House, as Bill was preparing to retire from cochlear implant surgery – coincidentally, that meeting took place on International Cochlear Implant Day!

Nick describes it as a “full circle moment” he’ll never forget. From a kiritaki/client, to an audiology student on clinical placement, and now an audiologist in our team – Nick’s journey reflects a lasting connection and care 💛

You can see him talking about the experience here in a recent address he gave to the Southern Cross nationwide team.

22/02/2026

In celebration of International Cochlear Implant Day coming up this week, we're shining the spotlight on a very special kiritaki/client Annette Barker, one of the speakers at our Power of Connection event last year.

Seventy-four-year-old Annette had her cochlear implant fitted five years ago when tests showed that her hearing aids were no longer effective. She became a full-time carer to her husband Derek when he developed Lewy Body Dementia and shouldered the burden of dealing with a range of healthcare professionals and making life-changing decisions for them both.

She says she simply didn't know how she would have coped without her cochlear implant. It gave her confidence, clarity and the will to carry on.

Annette was referred to The Hearing House by the Hearing Institute – watch a clip she filmed for them about her journey 💛

✨ Join us for our first Connect & Share event of the year! ✨

After the success of last year — with meaningful conversations, new friendships, and a wonderfully supportive atmosphere — we can’t wait to bring everyone together again.

Everyone's welcome — especially if you’re new to your cochlear implant journey. Feel free to bring your friends and whānau so they can share their experiences as well.

See details below — please let us know if you'd like to join us!
