Queenstown | Audiology South

In 2014, Simon Melville joined Audiology South as a senior audiologist, bringing with him a wealth of knowledge in both the clinical and managerial aspects of audiology. Originally trained in Auckland, Simon ran Bay Audiology in the South Island before entering senior management for the Bay Audiology group.

His patients benefit from his experience both in NZ and abroad, where he has developed in-depth knowledge in diagnosing and managing hearing loss, tinnitus treatment, and cochlear implantation. Simon lives on a lifestyle block just out of Arrowtown and enjoys keeping active year-round with summer and winter sports.

Hilary recently “came home” to the Mainland after working for many years in the Wellington region for a Danish hearing aid supplier and a local independent audiology clinic.

Originally from Tuatapere, Southland, Hilary says she is happy to be back in the South Island for the change of scene and pace, and plans to settle in Central Otago.

“I’m excited to be working with Southern people again and to be nearer to family,” she says.

“I’m really pleased to be working for Audiology South,” she says. “It’s important to me to be able to help people access the technology most suited to their hearing needs, rather than being confined by manufacturer supply agreements.”

in the Central Otago area. Nicky recently joined Audiology South as an ear nurse and will be based in
our Queenstown clinic. She is loving her new role and is enjoying being part of the team at Audiology South.
