Hearing Nelson is a charitable organisation established in 1953, serving the Top of the South/Te Tau Ihu as a branch of Hearing New Zealand. We aim to improve the lives of people who are Deaf or have hearing loss through one-on-one support and services including advocacy and public awareness. We offer flexible education programmes centred on proactively preventing hearing loss for children, young people and adults.



We support those in the community who are deaf or hard of hearing. Our membership programme offers a quarterly newsletter, discounts on accessory products, and free hearing aid cleaning services.
We educate the people of our community about noise-induced hearing loss and how to keep your hearing safe. A particular focus is reaching our youth to encourage early awareness and prevention.
We offer sales of batteries, cleaning and drying products, earplugs and assistive devices such as personal amplifiers, specialist telephones and alarm clocks.
