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 💛

Meet Barry, a retired farmer who now resides in Katikati in the Bay of Plenty 🤩

It’s been a year since Barry received his cochlear implant, and in this clip he shares his own reflections on the journey so far.

Barry talks honestly about the changes he’s experienced, including the difference between accessing sound with hearing aids and with a cochlear implant. His reflections offer a real-life perspective for anyone considering, or adjusting to, a cochlear implant.

Alongside Barry, his daughter Janine also shares her journey, reflecting on the family’s experience, the support around the process, and the impact that having a cochlear implant has had on Barry, their family's connection and everyday life.

We celebrated a very special day at The Hearing House recently, with the switch-on of one of our youngest kiritaki/clients, six-month-old Louis Smith.

His mum Nicole says that after switch-on, Louis was more alert and curious as he took in the environment around him.

“He’s now turning towards sounds, which has been magical to see,” says Nicole.

“He’s back to his normal happy self, now just with the gift of hearing. We're so thankful!

“The team at The Hearing House have been so helpful in educating us on caring for Louis’ cochlear implants and have taken it step by step as to not overwhelm us.“

We first wrote about Louis’ journey last year, and it’s so exciting to see his growth and connection. You can read the full story here: https://www.hearinghouse.co.nz/single-post/baby-louis-hearing-journey-finding-connection-and-hope-at-the-hearing-house

“He has such a bright future,” says Nicole. “And we’re deeply thankful to The Hearing House for walking beside us every step of the way.”

For Tinnitus Awareness Week, we spoke with our amazing audiologist, Derek Hadfield, about how we can support people living with tinnitus — including cochlear implant users.

Tinnitus can affect concentration, sleep, and overall wellbeing, but with the right information and support, people don’t have to manage it alone.

Watch as Derek shares practical ways we can make a real difference for those living with tinnitus. 💙🎧

Ringing, buzzing, or other unexplained sounds in the ears can be a daily reality for many people — and it’s more common than you might think.

This week is Tinnitus Awareness Week, and The Hearing House is proud to help shine a light on this often misunderstood condition. Tinnitus affects millions of people worldwide and, for some, can significantly impact daily life and overall wellbeing.

To mark the week, we spoke with Professor Grant Searchfield from the University of Auckland, who shares insights into what tinnitus is, what causes it, and how it can be managed.

If persistent sounds in your ears are causing concern, support is available. An audiologist can help you take the first step💙👂
