Mike first realised that his hearing wasn’t the best when he was 10 but didn’t do anything about it until much later in life.

When he finally came to see Bay Audiology, and got hearing aids, he realised “this is what normal hearing sounds like.” Mike’s quality of life has changed significantly. “My quality of family life has changed quite a lot, simply the kids aren’t having to repeat themselves. My advice as someone who’s had hearing aids would be if you think you have hearing loss, then you do have hearing loss and you are missing out. It’s actually quite good in New Zealand; the Government gives you a $1000 towards hearing aids and with Bay Audiology, the process is just incredibly smooth. I couldn’t recommend them higher to be honest.”
