Choosing the right hearing technology for you

Clinical Audiologist Dr Peter O'Brien AuD MNZAS Audiology Associates

Choosing the right hearing technology depends on:
- Your level of hearing loss
- Your lifestyle
- Your budget

Hearing Aids come in various models; they can fit in the ear ITE/RITE, snugly in the canal ITC/RIC or behind the ear BTE. They are small and discreet and you can usually choose from a range of colours - match to skin/hair or choose to stand out from the crowd! There are also a variety of devices which connect to particular models of hearing aid; these may be customized to fit your unique hearing needs, and enhance your listening experiences on mobile phones and to assist listening to TV etc.

The team at Audiology Associates are happy to consult with you to help you decide what is right for you – we will provide no obligation quotes and an opportunity to trial*. We are always very happy to help with all of your hearing needs.

Worst Xmas ever?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

There's a a lot of planning that goes into Christmas day and sometimes things just don't go to plan. But it can be a good thing - a family mishap or hilarious memory that you can laugh about in Christmases to come.

Whether you burnt the dinner or were stranded at an airport...

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️

The Team from SPCA New Zealand

It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:

👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
