Life just got easier for those who wear hearing aids!
A number of manufacturers offer a range of accessories to boost hearing aid performance (where required) to assist watching TV, talking on the phone (land line and mobile) and listening to music etc.
The current options for phone connectivity for hearing aids include:
- Direct to phone connection - using the styled for iPhone hearing aids for cell phones available through Starkey, GN ReSound and Oticon. Or direct land line connection by a remote, available from Oticon, Bernafon & Sonic.
- Direct management of the hearing aid function by phone - currently available for both iPhone and android - this allows you to use your phone as a remote control.
Options are available in a number of levels of hearing aid technology. This means you may not need the most expensive hearing aid option to access phone connections.
For further information and to discuss what is best for you, contact the friendly team at Audiology Associates.

Urgent A FREE ANTI VIRUS
Hello all. First up I'd be remiss if I didn't wish ALL, a Happy New Year, Happy 25
CAN ANY ONE SUGGEST WHERE WHO HOW I CAN FIND A TRUELY FREE, (ANTI VIRUS PROGRAM), FOR MY LAPTOP, PLEASE. Some Tecno, ages ago put AVG, now they just burden me asking for payments? I was told it was free, NOT.
Look forward to suggestions and support, thank you Alipate the Cancer Warrior
We're talking new year resolutions...
Tidying the house before going to bed each night, meditating upon waking or taking the stairs at work.
What’s something quick, or easy, that you started doing that made a major positive change in your life?
⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
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 ❤️
