audiology / hearing care · NZ-specific answer

Which hearing aid is best for otosclerosis?

Last reviewed: 2026-05-27 · how we answer

Short answer

New Zealand law (ASA Therapeutic Code) restricts unverified "best" claims in health advertising — so any list ranking practitioners as "the best" should be treated with caution. Look instead for registration, procedure volume, patient reviews and funding-accepted fit.

NZ-specific context

  • All audiology / hearing care practitioners on ClinicCompare are listed as registered with NZ Audiological Society at the time of listing.
  • Better questions to ask: how many of this procedure has the practitioner done in the last 12 months? What's their complication rate? Will they share patient outcomes?
  • Check funding fit — many NZ patients filter primarily by ACC / Southern Cross / nib / AIA / public referral / self-pay.

Who should you check with
