FREE hearing tests offered to adults with hearing loss.
Hi everyone,
The University of Auckland Audiology Section is offering FREE hearing tests for adults with hearing loss at Grafton Campus (opposite Auckland Hospital) for 4 weeks from mid July to mid August. This is the last opportunity to secure a FREE appointment this year.
These appointments are being offered as part of the training programme for Master of Audiology students. All appointments are 90 minutes in duration as they are complete diagnostic evaluations, not screening tests. Assessments will be conducted by first year Master of Audiology students under the full supervision of senior Audiologists. All volunteers will get a full explanation of their test results on the day, a copy of the results to take with them and some advice on the next steps if any follow up appointments are required.
Free parking is available if required. We are also close to public transport routes.
If you or someone you know is concerned about their hearing and would like to take up this opportunity, please fill out the patient information sheet which is embedded in the attached flyer and e-mail it to clinics@auckland.ac.nz. The clinic will then contact you to make an appointment.
This is a limited time opportunity, so please get in touch ASAP to avoid disappointment, if you’d like to take part. Please feel free to pass this invitation onto anyone you know who may be interested in assisting us with our student teaching.

Further important update to all Neighbourly members
Dear Neighbours,
We wanted to update you with what we have uncovered in regards to the potential Neighbourly data breach which we were alerted to on Thursday January 1.
Over the past few days we have worked to understand whether our members’ data had been accessed without authorisation and, if so, the extent of the breach.
We have now confirmed that there was a breach of some data from our registered users. We are now satisfied that the breach was quickly contained, and we have restored the Neighbourly site and services.
Our investigations have shown that there was unauthorised access of Neighbourly data, which included our registered members’ names, email addresses, GPS coordinates, forum posts and member communications. It did not include passwords but some publicly advertised event and business addresses were included.
Following best practice, we will look to seek a court injunction against any use of the material.
We want to apologise to our members for this occurrence and any concerns it may have caused you over the past few days. We have, of course, addressed the issue that allowed the theft to occur, and we are satisfied that the site is secure for use by all of our members. We will work closely with all our staff to ensure we have the most robust processes in place to prevent it from happening again.
Thank you to our members who contacted us over this period and for the understanding you have shown as we work through the complex issues associated with cyber theft.
