Love Your Hearing Foundation
At New Zealand Hearing, we work hard to extend our services to all kiwis and our friends on neighbouring islands through the Love Your Hearing Foundation. With over a decade of commitment to the Cook Islands, our humanitarian trips bring essential hearing services to those with little to no access to audiological care.
Our audiologists carefully pack and travel with the necessary equipment, seeing hundreds of patients during these short trips – conducting hearing tests, identifying candidates for surgery, and fitting donated hearing aids. For many, the experience is life-changing when they can finally hear their families again. The emotional reactions from patients – often waiting patiently for care – are truly heartwarming.
Our efforts are made possible by the generosity of New Zealanders who donate hearing aids and support our fundraising initiatives. The long-term goal of the foundation is to empower local healthcare workers with audiology skills, ensuring communities can continue to thrive with ongoing access to hearing care.
