Happy World Hearing Day! Every year on March 3, we celebrate World Hearing Day :) Here's some tips from the World Health Organisation for kids and adults about how to communicate with someone who has a hearing loss

Friends make life richer—and everyone deserves to be included.

Ahead of 'World Hearing Day' tomorrow, here’s how you can support a friend with hearing loss:

- Take turns when talking so your friend can follow the conversation
- Face your friend when speaking
- Help, or call for help, if their hearing aid isn’t working
- Include your friend in play and group activities
- Never make fun of people with hearing loss or hearing aids

What’s that buzz? It could be tinnitus which is often heard as buzzing, ringing, clicking or a noise like cicadas when there is no actual external noise.

Throughout the world, the buzz this week is all about tinnitus. It’s Tinnitus awareness week this week, 2-9 February 2026.

The purpose of tinnitus awareness week is to raise public awareness of tinnitus and to inform people about where they can get help to understand their tinnitus and live or deal with it.

About 2 in 3 New Zealanders are expected to get tinnitus during their lifetime, so it’s a common problem. Fortunately, it’s not a big problem for everyone, but it can be very troubling for some.

If you’d like to understand more about your tinnitus make an appointment with our audiologist.

Check out this interview on Stuff.co.nz about safe noise levels in bars and cafes. They spoke with Lisa Seerup, president of Hearing New Zealand about how to make going out easier for those with and without hearing loss.

"“There's been some interesting research done in Australia where they asked people who go to bars and clubs that are quite loud, about what do they think of the loud music? And many people say they quite like the music to be turned down. The bars are scared of doing that.”"

Dr Lisa Seerup is a woman on a mission, and that mission is to bring a bit more shush to the world.
