You can find a hearing therapist near you by visiting LIFE Unlimited.
Why you should see an HTANZ hearing therapist
It's never too early - or too late - to see a hearing therapist. You will be provided with free, independent, confidential advice and support.
Hearing therapists who are Accredited Assessors for Hearing Assistive Technology, funded by the Ministry of Health, or who work with ACC clients, are required to be members of HTANZ.
They must work within the HTANZ Scope of Practice, are bound by a Code of Ethics and must fulfil continuing education requirements.
The Ministry of Health currently funds a FREE Aural Rehabilitation Service (Hearing Therapy) for anyone 16 years and over, who is a New Zealand citizen or permanent resident. LIFE Unlimited currently holds the contract for this service and employs hearing therapists throughout New Zealand.
People may refer themselves or may be referred by other services, including their doctor, audiologist or ear, nose and throat specialist.
Hearing therapists will provide a comprehensive report of their findings or onward referral to a health service in consultation with the person.
