As you've heard, COVID-19 is a serious viral infection and we want you to know your New Zealand Hearing clinics are taking all recommended precautions and safety measures to ensure a safe environment. The health of our clients and audiologists are our top priority. We will update this page frequently to keep you up-to-date on our response to recommendations.
We are working hard to make sure you have access to hearing healthcare and appreciate your patience while we explore service options to keep you safe and healthy. Starting at Alert Level 2, our clinics will be open for in-person appointments but we encourage you to take advantage of our online and remote services as much as possible. There are inherent limitations to online and distance healthcare, but if you're in need of hearing help, don't wait. Check below to see if any of these options might work for you and contact your clinic.
We will not be doing any home-based appointments during Alert Level 4 or Level 3. We will update this option as soon as we are able.
More here >Some of our audiologists can bring their equipment to you! This option is available to our clients if you're feeling healthy but not wanting to leave home. Our audiologists can do many things through their laptops so contact your clinic to see if this option could work for you.
If you are feeling unwell, please take this time to rest and feel better rather than scheduling a hearing care appointment.
Need an adjustment to your hearing aids? We could do it while you sit in the car!
More here >If you need a small adjustment to your hearing aids, we might be able to bring our computer to the parking lot and adjust your devices while you sit in the car. This can be a great option to keep social distancing and still get your devices set just right.
If you need help with your current hearing aids, we can schedule a phone or video conference call.
More here >Phone or vdeio conferencing is a great option to help with social distancing and can be really easy. Call your audiologist to see if this might work for your situation.
If you need us to check your hearing aid(s), you can drop them off or ship them to the clinic and we'll check them out.
More here >Rather than risking contact, it might be easier to simply drop off your devices. Just be sure to wash your hands before and after handling your hearing aids.
However, if you can't make a drop-off, you can post your hearing aid to our clinic. Be sure to leave a note describing the issue and we will get it fixed up. Once it's ready, we will post it back or contact you with next steps. *Note: be careful when shipping medical devices. Make sure you've insured your package and physically protected your hearing aid carefully.
