Now, more than ever, we need to reach out

We're Here to Support You
This year has taught us about the importance of being there for each other.
We have staff waiting on our helpline, and online community of support available to support you.
We have a range of services available to help, and our team members are eager to connect with you if you need to talk.
#ImHearForYou
Isolation is an all too common experience for New Zealanders who live in a hearing world with hearing loss, and this is being exacerbated by the COVID-19 restrictions.
​
We are advocating for better accessibility for national communications and we are sending out care packages to the most vulnerable members of our community.
​
Your generous support will enable us to reach out and say I'm hear for you.

What We Do
Make Listening Safe
To ensure young people are aware of the risks, we have developed the Make Listening Safe Programme that focuses on educating young people about noise-induced hearing loss and how to protect their precious hearing.
Hearing Screening Programme
Kiwi kids are losing their hearing. Levels of youth hearing loss have skyrocketed over the last decade. To combat this, NFDHH is providing free hearing screenings at selected Secondary Schools across New Zealand.
Hearing Accredited Workplaces
11% of working New Zealanders have a hearing loss. The Hearing Accredited Workplace Programme will help your organisation to align your disability & inclusion strategy.
Take Action
There are many ways you can make a difference and get behind the 880,000 New Zealanders of all ages who are Deaf or have a hearing loss.
