The Hearing Company Paraparaumu’s The Hearing Company has welcomed the New Year with $20,000 worth of the latest stateof-the-art digital hearing equipment, and an exciting new on site mobility shop. After opening in October last year, The Hearing Company owner Noel Mason, who was later joined by Scott Panter, has been busy meeting the varying needs of a range of clients with hearing loss, and last month introduced The Mobility Company division. With a large portion of clients mainly retired, Mr Mason says he and Mr Panter noticed a gap in the local market for accessing mobility products and services. “We were finding that our clients were asking about local services including mobility, not knowing what was really out there or how to access it,” he says. Dedicated to working closely with the community, the pair work alongside wives Suzanne Panter and Michelle Mason (The Mobility Company Directors), who “took the bull by the horns” and set up The Mobility Company at their Ihakara Street clinic. “A gentleman recently came in to The Mobility Company Shop after having unsuccessfully been elsewhere trying to find the right product, and we were able to help him”. With access to a wide range of mobility products and wholesalers, The Hearing Company is now the Coasts unique one-stop clinic that offers quality audiology services alongside mobility services.
The Mobility Company product range varies from jar openers and canes, through to wheelchairs and walkers. Fully qualified, experienced and passionate about their role in helping better clients’ lives, Mr Mason and Mr Panter both work full-time at the clinic and regularly volunteer in Kapiti. “Last week I spent time at Kapiti Rest Home, training staff on cleaning and servicing of hearing aids”, Mr Panter says. “I also spent an hour at Country Lodge training care-workers, where I volunteered my time to ensure hearing aids are being put in correctly so hearing problems are not made worse”. As well as working to provide easy-to-reach information and resources for clients with hearing loss, the team use the latest quality hearing testing equipment and offer a 10% discount for all Super Gold Card holders when purchasing mobility and daily assisted living products. “Were really pleased to introduce The Mobility Company to the local community, and aim to offer great customer service supported by products at competitive prices,” Mr Mason says. “We also have a free delivery service within the Kapiti region for the larger items.” “For us it’s not just about business, it’s about being part of the community and bringing community service where it is needed”.
