Hearing loss is not limited to old age — it can happen to anyone. It is also common in children and young professionals, especially those exposed to loud noises. When you experience hearing troubles, it greatly affects your lifestyle and how you interact with the people around you.

If you are having a hard time hearing, do not delay treatment. Start your recovery journey with FREE hearing checks from Audiology Associates.

How to Detect Possible Hearing Loss
Hearing loss is a gradual process; most people do not notice their condition for years until it suddenly occurs. You might have experienced some warning signs: friends telling you to turn down the volume of your stereo or you frequently asking people to repeat what they said.

Gradual hearing loss approximately takes seven years before the patient realises the condition. Most individuals realise their troubles a moment too late, which results in expensive treatments. Love your hearing by addressing the issue now. Make an appointment with us for one of Auckland’s trusted hearing tests.

Starting the Journey with a Hearing Test
Your journey to better hearing starts with a simple diagnostic hearing test. This test determines your hearing levels, giving you an idea of your current condition. It also reflects the hearing capacity of both ear and which sounds you can hear without difficulty. Your first hearing test is an important baseline—this helps your audiologist plot your treatment plan.

If the results of your hearing test suggest the need for hearing devices, our team will make the right recommendations for you.

Experienced Clinicians at your Service
Audiology Associates’ team of clinicians is one of New Zealand’s most experienced. They focus on providing quality service in all areas of the field. From a simple hearing test to giving the right advice, we make sure you get what you need.

Book an appointment with us now and have your hearing checked before it’s too late.

Great Stories Begin Here - Meet Faoa

Skills Update Training Institute

First I completed the National Certificate in Health, Disability and Aged Support Core Competencies Level 3 (Care for the Older Person), and this month I completed the NMIT Certificate in Community Support Services (Care for the Older Person) Level 4.

I moved to NZ from Samoa in 2006. Before starting training with Skills Update I was a fulltime stay at home mum of 5 boys. I love being a mum but I felt restless and wanted to get out of the house and learn some skills. I saw the course advertised on Facebook and thought I would give it a go. I struggled with some assignments at times, but my tutor Lyn Main was there every step of the way; supporting and encouraging me to continue.

Lyn helped me to get work experience while I was studying level 3, and I ended up getting a job with them. I now work for them fulltime. I am so happy to be working; my family are now free from struggle.

While studying, I learnt about holistic care; how to best care for clients by being polite, treating them equally, and communicating clearly – even with those who can’t talk. A lot of communication happens with our eyes. I am happy to care for the residents as they leave this world. I love my job.

In my job I now orientate new students on work experience. I love to show others how to interact with the residents in a professional and caring way. Next year I am looking to start my training as an enrolled nurse.

Doing this study has changed me. I used to be a stressed out, angry mum. I will never forget the support I received from this course. I was able to share problems and gain advice. I am now a happy mum.

I feel so grateful to have had the opportunity to undertake this study, and would encourage all interested students to come and enrol in the new NZ Certificates in Health and Wellbeing, levels 3 and 4 being offered through Skills Update in collaboration with NMIT this year. “

The Accelerate Education Division of Skills Update is taking new enrolments now for the NZ Certificates in Health and Wellbeing (Health Assistance) level 3, and Advanced Support level 4. Classes will be in West and South Auckland, so secure your place in the April intakes by contacting Jessica on 257 3155 ext 770, 021 533 705 or jessica@skillsupdate.co.nz. Places are open to all NZ citizens and permanent residents.
