At Audika we have three ways of checking your hearing :
When you contact us, we will determine the most suitable hearing check for you. Let’s take a look at what happens at a full test with a clinician. |
| Music |
A clinician will begin by asking you about your hearing health history. This can help the clinician better tailor a hearing solution to your individual needs. |
| Music |
This discussion is followed by a visual ear examination. Your clinician will check for any earwax blockages or other irregularities. |
| Music |
Now you will undertake the hearing test. This includes a series of tests – such as listening to tones, speech and middle ear tests. These tests measure various elements of your hearing and help us to gain a thorough understanding of your hearing abilities and ear health. |
| Music |
Upon completion of your hearing test, you will get same-day test results. Your clinician will discuss your results with you and provide a recommendation where appropriate. |
| Music |
If you have no hearing loss, you will be advised on healthy hearing practices and how to help protect your hearing through the years. If you are over 65, we recommend that you test your hearing once a year. |
| Music |
If hearing loss is detected, you will receive advice on hearing care solutions including hearing aid options. If hearing aids are suitable for you, we will assist you in choosing the best hearing aid solution for your lifestyle and budget. |
| Music |
A full hearing test takes about 45- 60 minutes to complete. |

She began her audiology career in the public health system here in New Zealand, and has since gained a wide range of audiological skills, having worked in paediatrics, diagnostics, cochlear implants, tinnitus counselling and within the hearing device industry.
With her broad experience Katherine has now taken on the role of Head of Audiology for Audika New Zealand. Katherine’s focus is on ensuring every client that Audika interacts with feels they have been provided with the best possible care; that they have been listened to and been treated with the highest level of care by all clinical team members. “At Audika we specialise in hearing care, so our aim is to ensure we provide truly personalised, comprehensive care from the moment our clients first walk in the door, right through to the regular check ups and reviews we continue to provide throughout their hearing journey”.
On her return to New Zealand Diem worked for a hearing aid manufacturer for 5 years as a sales and product support audiologist before a move to the Bay of Plenty where she worked with adults and children for 5 years at a private clinic in Whakatane. This clinic also provided public hospital audiology support for the Eastern Bay of Plenty.
Diem has now been with Audika for the past 10 years in various roles, one of which was Clinical Trainer where she enjoyed being able to support her fellow clinicians to provide quality hearing care for all Audika clients. During this time, Diem was also on the NZAS Executive Council for two years.
