Excited to announce that Hearing New Zealand, with whom we are proudly affiliated, has been accepted as a member of the World Hearing Forum!

We are looking forward to learning more about hearing loss advocacy and education, and to gaining insights that will help us better support New Zealanders living with hearing loss and hearing challenges.

Together, we can continue working towards a future where everyone has access to the information, support, and services they need for better hearing health.

We are very proud to advise Hearing New Zealand has been accepted to be a member of the World Hearing Forum.
