What people are saying.

  • “Katrin filled in at my clinic over the span of 5 months while I was working away. She is super efficient, flexible, reliable and so great with all the clients. My team loved having her fill in and didn’t want her to leave! She even stayed late for urgent appointments. She learns new systems very quickly and has expert knowledge of all hearing aid manufacturers. I won’t hesitate to contract her again when I need extra help!”

    Bradi Martin (Audiologist / Director of Bishopdale Hearing)

  • “I have known Katrin for almost 20 years in the NZ hearing industry and have worked together in the same company for at least 13 years. In that time, she has supervised me for the CCC process and after gaining my CCC, she has mentored me as well. I felt that Katrin had prepared me so well and it gave me such pride in gaining my membership with the NZAS. Katrin also lecturers at the University of Canterbury part time for the Masters of Audiology program and would feel that the students would be getting prepared well for a career in audiology. If you are needing a supervisor or mentor, then Katrin is first class in my books. I’m incredibly grateful for her mentorship. Because of Katrin, I’m better at what I do — and better at how I do it.”

  • " I was fortunate to spend my time as a provisional audiologist under the guidance of Katrin Hobson. The beginning of any career is a crucial period for development, who and what you're exposed to during this formative stage lays the groundwork for how you practice. Having Katrin as my supervisor meant I had access to a wealth of knowledge, backed by decades of experience across the country and internationally. She embodied the professionalism, empathy, drive, and patience you search for in the very best educators. Most importantly, my time with Katrin made me love the world of audiology and the many avenues for development available to someone just starting their career. I wholeheartedly respect and appreciate everything Katrin has done for me. Her example has set the bar high, and it’s given me a clear vision of what type of clinician I could one day become if I continue to aim high. "

    William Lee (MNZAS Audiologist)

  • "I had the pleasure of working with Katrin while preparing for my Certificate of Competency in audiology to become a member of NZAS. Her guidance, knowledge and encouragement were invaluable throughout the process. Her knowledge of the process, her professionalism and her willingness to help are exceptional. She was always approachable and generous with her time. I wouldn’t have felt as confident or prepared without her. I highly recommend Katrin to anyone seeking professional support or mentorship in audiology. She’s a dedicated clinician and a fantastic colleague."
