Applied Hearing aims to be best

This year not only marks the start of a new decade. It is also the 50th anniversary of the founding of Applied Hearing Ltd.

As the oldest private hearing-aid clinic in New Zealand, it has the most experience in helping people to recover their sense of hearing electronically.

Applied Hearing prides itself on providing cost-effective solutions to poor hearing and on its excellent follow-up care that encourages new clients by offering unlimited free appointments for the first year.

That affordable and friendly professional service is what has kept long-time client Alexandra Richards coming back – even from her new home in the United States.

A bone growth disease robbed Mrs Richards of most of her hearing as a Hawke's Bay teenager and, since the 1960s, while working at The Auckland Star, she has purchased aids from Applied Hearing.

"I knew, to get an honest deal, this was the place to come," she says.

Now living in California, Mrs Richards and her husband arranged their summer trip to New Zealand so Applied Hearing could fit her with a new digital frequency compression aid.

Coincidentally, that timing made her the client asked to draw the winner of Applied Hearing's latest promotion.

Older people may have noticed that they do not hear family and friends as well as just a few years back. That is not surprising, because hearing loss is common as we grow older.

Whatever the cause, many people who recognise they no longer hear so well accept that this hearing loss is inevitable. It is not!

Digital technology has made today's hearing aids discreet, smart and comfortable.

Applied Hearing prides itself on providing the latest technology options in affordable packages.

Call Applied Hearing on 5245736 and if, like Applied Hearing, you are 50 or older, its staff will do a full hearing evaluation free at your closest clinic – Byron Chambers in Takapuna, or the Shore Care Medical Centre at Red Beach shopping centre.
