New hearing aid is great - and only costed $380 online
- I was expecting to pay about $2,000 per ear, but checked online, and sure enough, found a good option at about a quarter that price
- 'Thrilled with it. 'Good, crisp hearing after decades of gradually muffling of my hearing.
- This is where I got it... bit.ly...
- Took it out of the box, simply put the battery in, put it in my half-dead left ear (50 years of industrial noise, motorcycle wind noise, circular saws, hammers, guitar and banjo playing, traffic, etc.) Bingo, now I've got better hearing in that ear than my right ear. 'Might get one for that later.
- By the way, don't forget you can get spectacles online at very good prices, e.g. my quite good progressive lenses and frame, bought Sept 2021 from EyeBuyDirect, costed NZ$298 and I've just orrded another pair, total $135 at the Zenottic store at AliExpress too, two weeks ago. But shop around, you might outdo that. =)
⚠️ 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 ❤️
