Live and listen: Hear Again
In New Zealand, one in six of all adults suffer hearing loss. Over the age of 60, 50 percent of people have hearing loss, while over the age of 80, that becomes 93 percent.
Presbycusis, or ‘Old Hearing’ is inevitable, but it doesn’t have to become the drawback of your life. At Hear Again, your ears will be looked after by top clinicians, helping you get back to life and listening as normal.
The New Zealand owned and operated clinic provides only the best service, evidenced by its recent milestone of 100 5-Star Google Reviews.
Business owners Steve and Samantha Foster say their mission is to “improve the hearing of people through excellence in client care”.
Steve, an NZAS Audiometrist himself, explains how as presbycusis develops, sensitivity to high-pitched sounds is reduced and harder to hear.
If you’re struggling to hear words with “s, t, f, h, k” and “th” or find speech is unclear or mumbled in those around you, this might be your first indicator of hearing loss.
Low-pitched sounds like background noise are still easily heard, however, and Steve says this becomes a “significant barrier to understanding conversation in a social situation”.
Gradual damage occurs within the ears’ nerve endings over time, so as
we age, hearing becomes harder and more frustrating.
Hear Again are here to help. Free, non-invasive hearing checks to find the problem are available or delve deeper into the issue and its resolution with full diagnostic hearing tests.
For those suffering from tinnitus, a ringing phenomenon in the ears, the business has many solutions. Tinnitus can be caused by a build-up of earwax, in which case they offer earwax micro-suction to remove this for you.
Tinnitus can also be a symptom of hearing loss, and can be treated simultaneously with your choice of hearing loss treatment.

Simple steps with Hear Again can allow you to enjoy those special moments again.
Hearing loss can be effectively reduced “by the use of incredibly discrete hearing devices which are almost invisible in or on the ear”, says Steve.
With hearing aid demonstrations available, the audiometrists will guide you every step of the way, to a better life of improved listening.
Hear Again also services hearing aids, where clients can get them checked and retested to ensure they are programmed to personal needs.
