Triton Hearing Partnership

Ngāti Mākino Iwi Authority partnered with Triton Hearing to help improve the hearing of our Ngāti Mākino uri .

As a result of this partnership, a Hearing Aid Grant was created where we provide registered iwi members free hearing tests and a fully funded* pair of hearing aids, exclusively with Triton Hearing per year.

The official celebration of this partnership coincided with the Hauora Day which was held on 5 November 2022 at
Ōtamarākau Marae.
