24.01.2022 Audiologists constantly make decisions to best serve their clients. To explore the decision making of audiologists providing hearing aids to older clients, we would value 10-15 minutes of your time to answer a brief anonymous survey.

14.01.2022 Very proud of the graduating cohort of 2018. Congratulations.

11.01.2022 In 2016 The University of Melbourne Audiology Clinical team set-up a much-needed Audiology service at the Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC) in Phenom Penh, Cambodia. The service was established to ensure locally trained staff were able to conduct accurate hearing tests used by the ENT surgeons for pre and post-operative assessments. CSC provides medical services free of charge to patients who would otherwise be unable to afford treatment, and who often travel long distances to... the hospital, some from neighbouring countries. Regular trips and ongoing monitoring using teleaudiology of the audiological services by UOM has ensured high quality ENT management and care for patients attending the CSC. In 2018, we now have an established program with at least three trips per year, with four students and two staff members. Clinical services now include hearing aid fittings and on the latest trip, a paediatric service was established. All students in the Master of Clinical Audiology have an opportunity to contribute to this program where the teleaudiology component is a timetabled clinical placement. These trips are fantastic opportunities to promote interprofessional learning and inspire students and staff to make an important contribution to global healthcare. See more
