In this unit students will apply their audiological knowledge to assess hearing solutions and (re)habilitation services to meet the needs of those with hearing loss, across the lifespan. Through guided engagement with individuals affected by hearing difficulties students will identify clients’ communication needs, relevant intervention options and develop aural rehabilitation programs. This unit will promote an understanding of public hearing health and clinical pathways for people with hearing loss, from identification and appropriate referrals, to technological and communication options. Students will complete an interdisciplinary experience to understand the role of audiology in healthcare.
