Audiology

The World Health Organisation (WHO) estimates that adult hearing loss will be in the top ten disease burdens by 2030. Hearing Aid Dispensers and Audiologists are in high demand as a result of this increase. In addition, there is a need for the upskilling and development of professionals already in the field.
