Going forward from Wednesday 29th April for Sarah Lies Hearing...

Although we are still under strict controls during Alert Level 3, I am eager to support our Government as we move towards the restart of safe businesses and the economy.

My main priority, of course, is our health and safety. I want to assure you my clinic will continue to operate safely under strict Alert Level 3 controls. Here is what that means for visits and appointments:

*During Alert Level 3 my clinic will be open for emergency appointments only. Please call me to discuss your needs and I can advise you on whether an in-person appointment is required, or whether we need to wait until Alert Level 2. Please do not pop by without an appointment.

*I can also accept hearing aids for repairs on-site or those needing off-site repair, and can likely also fit insurance replacement hearing aids if yours have been damaged beyond repair or lost during lockdown.

*I will be operating a one-in, one-out policy in the clinic. I would prefer not to have anyone waiting in the waiting room. Please wait in your car and I will come get you and es**rt you directly in to my clinic room.

*I am stocked with consumables such as filters, batteries etc and I can arrange non-contact delivery of these items to you at home.

Stay safe everyone, and I hope to be back to full capacity in the near future. Please don't hesitate to give me a call with any hearing or hearing aid queries you may have 04 390 0011 or 022 092 8530.

If you can please sign the petition. The waitlist for cochlear implants is unacceptable and devastating for those in desperate need of help.

The campaign to end silence Hundreds of New Zealand adults will never hear again unless government funding for cochlear implants is increased. Behind the numbers are real people. Parents who can no longer hear their children’s voices, talented professionals who are now unemployed, and people who a...

Did you know Eeyore has a hearing loss? Hearing loss is linked with depression and other health issues so don't put off getting help!

Thanks to our friends at the Hearing Care Center - Sharon, Massachusetts for sharing this with us.

Did you know that Eeyore (from the Winnie-the-Pooh books) has an untreated bilateral hearing loss, which may be contributing to his depressive nature?

"Good morning, Eeyore," shouted Piglet.
"Good morning, Little Piglet," said Eeyore. "If it is a good morning," he said. "Which I doubt," said he. "Not that it matters," he said.
"Many happy returns of the day," said Piglet, having now got closer.
Eeyore stopped looking at himself in the stream, and turned to stare at Piglet.
"Just say that again," he said.
"Many hap--"
"Wait a moment."
Balancing on three legs, he began to bring his fourth leg very cautiously up to his ear. "I did this yesterday," he explained, as he fell down for the third time. "It's quite easy. It's so as I can hear better... There, that's done it! Now then, what were you saying?" He pushed his ear forward with his hoof.
"Many happy returns of the day," said Piglet again.
"Meaning me?"
"Of course, Eeyore."
"My birthday?"
"Yes."
"Me having a real birthday?"
"Yes, Eeyore, and I've brought you a present."
Eeyore took down his right hoof from his right ear, turned round, and with great difficulty put up his left hoof.
"I must have that in the other ear," he said. "Now then."
"A present," said Piglet very loudly.
"Meaning me again?"
"Yes."
"My birthday still?"
"Of course, Eeyore."
"Me going on having a real birthday?"
"Yes, Eeyore, and I brought you a balloon."

Not great news, but this is something that can be changed if you watch how loud your devices are and take breaks.

Hearing loss rates among Auckland students were double the global average, a study found.

Are you buying a toy for your child, grandchild, or friend this holiday season? Please be aware that some toys are so noisy that they can cause hearing loss. Have a look at the noisy list and safe list for toys, which was done by Alex Smith from Arizona. This is not an exhaustive list but meant as a tool to help you make an informed decision. If you do buy a noisy toy make sure you put it to the low setting. Happy shopping!!!
