Stronger Connections, Stronger Communities

Connection is at the heart of everything we do at The Hearing House.​

So, we were delighted to host some of our key collaborative partners from Ko Taku Reo and Deaf Aotearoa this week, sharing with them the work we do to help build connections and stronger relationships, enabling our kiritaki/clients to participate fully in their communities.​

We work closely with Ko Taku Reo on training and support programmes for students and joint initiatives focused on improving outcomes for students and whānau. Our audiologists regularly visit kaimahi at the Ko Taku Reo provision at Ormiston School in South Auckland in our mobile hearing clinic.​

We work with Deaf Aotearoa on many different levels, including co-hosting playgroups and whānau events for Deaf and hard-of-hearing tamariki, with a shared commitment to inclusion, respect, and the belief that families should not have to choose between NZSL and cochlear implant technology—they can, and should, access both.​

Thank you Ko Taku Reo and Deaf Aotearoa for your ongoing trust and commitment. We really value our partnerships.​

Dr Denise Powell, Executive Principal Transition Advisor at Ko Taku Reo; Dr Claire Green, CEO, The Hearing House; Amy Geue, the first Deaf principal for Ko Taku Reo, and Lachlan Keating, Chief Executive of Deaf Aotearoa.​
