Melanie Mackenzie
MAud, MNZAS

Melanie was born and bred in the South and grew up in Cromwell while the Clyde Dam was being built. After traveling and completing her studies, she returned home, where she now lives with her partner, young child, and a menagerie of animals.

She earned her Master of Audiology from Canterbury University in 2009 and has been practicing as an audiologist in Central Otago since then. Melanie has a broad range of skills and experience and her specialty is adult diagnostics and hearing aids.

Melanie offers a unique perspective on hearing healthcare through having hearing loss herself. Her condition first presented while at High School and progressed to profound loss over a decade, leading to her receiving a cochlear implant when she was 24. This personal experience gives her deep empathy and understanding of the challenges faced by those with hearing loss, significantly impacting their lives and those around them.

Melanie seized the opportunity to open her own audiology clinic to provide the community with personalised, small-scale, non-corporate hearing care. As your local audiologist, she looks forward to personally assisting you at every appointment, ensuring you receive the best hearing solutions tailored to your needs and budget.
