#NZ beer 🍺 fans, and those with hearing loss I’ve had a few of his at Biochem Happy Hour 😀 Mum also spent hours "speech training" me. I’ve photographs of us at the kitchen table at it. Richard will have a larger hearing loss than mine, but it’s the same tools needed to manage “in a hearing world”.

I’d "love" to know the story behind this 😔 It may or may not be related, but it reminds me of ACT’s recent promotion of cuts to Māori-oriented and "woke", etc., science funding on other social media.
