World Heavyweight Champion Joseph Parker has teamed up with New Zealand based hearing healthcare company Bay Audiology to support its Free to Ear - Samoa programme, to help those based in Parker's homeland who are suffering from hearing loss.

The programme will allow hundreds of people to get screened for hearing problems and fitted with donated hearing aids, and Parker commented 'Living in New Zealand, I’m lucky enough to have access to an audiologist or hearing specialist should I ever need it. People in Samoa currently don’t have the same access to the hearing health services we take for granted in New Zealand, which is why programmes like this are so important'.
