Why Choose Crystal Hearing
I'm Meaghan, Director and Senior Audiologist at Crystal Hearing.
And this is me and my Nanna, who I was very close to: she passed away in September 2023 at an impressive 98 years old, had 6 children (my mum was the youngest), 14 grandchildren (I am the youngest) and 20 great grandchildren. She kept physically and socially fit, read a lot, and attributed her healthy ageing to keeping a healthy community, healthy physical body and brain AND she wore her hearing aids (saying she thinks of me every morning when she puts them in her ears.) One of the key moments that motivated me to start my own business was back in July 2022 when I went to visit her, I popped my head into local Kapiti Hearing to get her some wax filters for her hearing aids: a friendly independent audiologist Jeanie said "just do it! You'll never turn back". And here I am, excited and thankful I got the push I needed to become independent.

You Have More Freedom When You Choose An Independent Hearing Care Provider
1.
No Sales Pressure
You won't be harassed at all hours of the night from call centers out of state: I understand where you are in your journey and leave it at that.
2.
Competitive Pricing
Being independent means I can source you the newest products the fastest. Chain providers have older technology they push to sell.
3.
Continuity of Care
I’m not going anywhere and I’ll keep you on track for the lifetime of your hearing aids including more regular aftercare (3 monthly appts.).
