Wānaka | Audiology South

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.”

Originally from Waimate, and a product of St Kevin’s High School, Mairead graduated from nursing school in 2013 and has a background in primary health and practice nursing. She was our first Ear Nurse at Audiology South, working from our Dunedin clinic back in 2018.

After a successful first year we were sad to lose her to a second OE to Scotland where she worked at Hospitals in Edinburgh, as a Florist in Italy and London and farms across Scotland and Norway (she’s quite exotic).

Mairead is back home in the South of NZ and will be providing wax removal and ear hygiene services from our Wānaka clinic while continuing with part-time work as a practice nurse and florist in Wānaka. “I loved working with the great team at Audiology South the first time around so I’m back”, says Mairead.

Mairead enjoys exploring and travelling, anything outdoors, socialising and meeting people, hearing their stories and just having a good yarn!
