Team Spotlight: Rachel Maloy 👋​

We’re excited to continue our weekly series shining a light on the team behind The Hearing House.​

Next up is Rachel Maloy, one of our Speech Language Therapists, who supports tamariki/children with cochlear implants and their whānau on their communication journeys.​

Rachel has always wanted to work with children and found speech language therapy to be the perfect blend of education and healthcare. Originally from the United States, she planned to return home after studying here, but quickly fell in love with Aotearoa New Zealand and decided to stay.​

Congratulations to anaesthetist Professor Paul Baker who was made a Knight Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit for his services to health in the recent King's Birthday Honours. ​
​
Professor Baker is an international authority on airway management, and has shaped safe clinical practice nationally and internationally. His research has led to the adoption of national equipment standards, ensuring every operating theatre is equipped to manage difficult airways during anaesthesia.​

​Over his career, Dr Baker has been integral to paediatric and adult cochlear implantation of The Hearing House kiritaki/clients, working closely with Ear Surgeon and Hearing House board member Dr Colin Brown.​

​Congratulations on this well-deserved recognition! ​

We’re back with the third and final video in Nathan Lowe’s series 🎥 ​

In this final instalment, Nathan explores cochlear implants — how they work and how they help people access sound in a different way to hearing aids. ​

If you’ve been wondering how cochlear implants support how we access sound, or want a clearer picture of how the technology works, this is a great place to start. ​

Thanks for following along with the series. We hope it’s helped make hearing technology easier to access and understand 💙 ​

Team Spotlight: Tijo Joseph 👋​
​
We’re excited to continue our weekly series shining a light on the team who are part of The Hearing House journey — including those learning alongside us.​

Next up is Tijo Joseph, a second-year social work student at Unitec who recently completed his practicum placement with our team. Tijo joined The Hearing House to gain experience and broaden his understanding of social work in practice.

We’ve taken our Connect & Share sessions to Hamilton for the first time! ​

What started as one session quickly turned into three as demand grew — bringing together more than 20 clients/kiritaki and their whānau to share experiences and tips, and to form friendships over a cup of tea. ​

From everyday challenges to defining moments, the conversations were honest, supportive and reassuring.​

And the best part? New connections that are continuing beyond the sessions!​

Following on from our Team Spotlight on Nathan Lowe, we’re excited to share the first video in his three-part series.​

In this short video, Nathan explains how the hearing system works in a simple, easy-to-understand way, from how sound travels through the ear to how our brains interpret sound.

It's a great starting point if you’ve ever been curious about what happens behind the scenes when we process sound.

​Keep an eye out for the next videos in the series, where Nathan will explore hearing aids and cochlear implants.​
