Corporate Sponsor Profile - ENTHHB

 Meet ENTHHB Audiology’s newest team member. Audiologist Carly Hensman is joining Dion Hutchinson-Jones, returning to her native Hawke’s Bay.

Carly has 10 years’ experience working in public hospitals and private clinics in Dunedin and Auckland. Most recently, she managed a specialist concept store for hearing services and products, where people could experiment with different hearing devices.

Why Hawke’s Bay?

While Carly loved being a part of a landmark concept (the Auckland store was the first of its kind in the southern hemisphere), she was tired of the rat race and kept imagining life in sunny Hawke’s Bay. “A real estate agent commented to me that, in previous years, he saw a lot of people raised in Hawke’s Bay returning to the bay. But that he was now seeing people with no connection to the region also making the move. I decided I needed to stop imagining how life could be – and actually make it happen!”

About ENTHHB

ENTHHB offers hearing assessments and hearing aids, as well as dizziness assessments. 

As a local, independently-owned business, we offer a full range of hearing aids, without ties to any particular hearing aid manufacturer.  This means that when you come to ENTHHB, we will recommend a tailored solution based on your individual circumstances. 

Location

We will ultimately be based at Kaweka Health, in state of the art facilities. In the meantime, we are at 7 Ossian Street, Ahuriri.

Hastings Golf Club Member Discount

Hastings Golf Club members receive 10% off the cost of hearing aids at ENTHHB.
