The Hearing House at NZAS 2025: Sharing insights, inspiring change

The Hearing House was proudly represented at this year’s New Zealand Audiological Society (NZAS) Conference in Wellington, with team members Holly Teagle and Latasi Koro taking the stage to present on key topics shaping the future of hearing healthcare. 

This year’s conference theme — Inspire, Innovate, Include — provided the perfect platform for Holly and Latasi to share our mahi and mission with audiology specialists from across Aotearoa. 

Holly, our Clinical Director, contributed to a panel discussion on congenital CMV (cytomegalovirus), covering prevention, education, raising awareness, screening, and care pathways. She brought a strong focus on early intervention and equity in access — essential components in supporting whānau from day one.

“Opportunities to shine a light on the amazing mahi of The Hearing House in a national forum contributes to creating new and further developing existing relationships around Aotearoa New Zealand,” says Holly. “We learn from others, and we share our learnings and experience.”

Latasi, one of our audiologists, presented on how The Hearing House is expanding cochlear implant service delivery to better meet the needs of our diverse communities. Her presentation highlighted the innovative approaches we’re taking to make hearing care more accessible, equitable, inclusive and responsive. One of the initiatives she highlighted was the impact of our mobile hearing clinic.

“When we stand on any stage, we take our all our people with us – from our kiritaki to our partners,” she says. “We were proud to represent The Hearing House, and inspired to continue to do the best for our people!”

Themes of advocacy, inclusion, and equity were central to both presentations, reflecting the values that underpin all we do at The Hearing House. 

 Ngā mihi nui to Holly and Latasi for representing The Hearing House with such insight, passion, and professionalism on a national stage. We’re so proud to have you leading these important conversations.
