This year the World Health Organisation wants us to reflect on the barriers to accessing timely and effective hearing health services and uppermost it says are the ingrained misconceptions and stigmas around hearing loss and hearing aids.

It probably passed many people by, but the team at Audiology South, while going about their weekend activities, took time to reflect on the message: “Let’s make ear and hearing care a reality for all!”

14 day, no-obligation trial of new hearing aids with the bonus of FLEX UPGRADE™

Meet our new audiologist, Lei Domingo, who is delighted to join Audiology South's Invercargill clinic.

Congratulations to everybody who took part in More FM’s Sound of Southland and won vouchers for free hearing tests and wax removal. We look forward to meeting you in the clinic soon!

Moisture is everywhere — in the air we breathe, our sweat, rain, in our food … so there’s a good chance that from time-to-time it will get into your hearing aids.

Some people with tinnitus hear music when there isn’t any. This is known as musical ear syndrome (MES) or ‘auditory hallucinations’. The composer Robert Schumann likely had MES as later in his life he reported hearing music or choirs singing at night.
