Hi there! My name is Peter Langham, owner and founder of Hearing True. My goal is to provide New Zealanders with high quality hearing aids at an affordable price.

Started because I saw a real gap in the market for high quality hearing aids at an affordable price, and on the honest belief that hearing aids need a fresh approach in New Zealand.

Truly independent and not owned or part owned by hearing aid manufactures like much of the competition. I want to offer a real alternative to what is essentially a monopoly in the NZ market for hearing aids by the main players. Proudly 100% NZ owned by me!

I offer a Free appointment and hearing test and I give good honest pragmatic advice about your hearing loss in laypersons terminology. Based at my home office at 19 Joyce, Crescent, Ilam, Christchurch set in a beautiful park like suburban setting with a dedicated separate office/clinic for appointments. Relaxed and unhurried with plenty of parking available.

I do not know of anyone else in NZ offering what we do. All our hearing aids are medically certified and we send NZ wide via courier, usually overnight.

I worked hard to source the best quality hearing aids available and bring them direct to you, the consumer, without the huge mark-up put on the cost of most hearing aids available in New Zealand. I provide independent, caring and informative advice on your hearing and go the extra mile to help ensure you get the best solution for your individual hearing loss. I pride myself on our excellent customer service and the unbeatable value of our hearing aids.

Born in Christchurch and married with two daughters and two Labradors. I have a real passion for everything sound wise, an audiophile, with a precise ear for Hi Fidelity sound and quality. If time allows I might even tell you about the time I met David Bowie and the other time I met Elton John.

The Hearing True Difference
