The magic of what we do is built on establishing special relationships between our people, individuals and their whānau, and industry partners. 

​

Through our passionate and dedicated team of audiologists, specialised therapists, and support staff we deliver a range of services and programmes to help people with cochlear implants and many others whose hearing has been impacted in some way. 

Our passionate team commits every day to fulfilling our mission. Working together and with partners, we are dedicated to a community of care that enables people to make choices about their own lives at each stage of their journey.

​

For a cochlear implant recipient, receiving their implant is just the beginning of their journey to access sound. We help children as young as six months of age up to adults in their 90s as they learn to listen and communicate with the aid of their cochlear implants. 

​

For children who don’t benefit from hearing aids, cochlear implants and specialised habilitation can help them learn to listen and communicate.

​

For adults, a cochlear implant, along with rehabilitative support, makes it possible to return to the workforce, re-engage with their family and social circles, and reintegrate into society.

​

Most of our cochlear implant services are publicly funded as part of the Northern Cochlear Implant Programme.

​

As a charity we rely on donations to provide lifetime support to our kiritaki across the upper North Island.
