This webinar series explores and challenges current thinking on hearing loss in older adults – from a mere inconvenience to a major public health problem.

From mental and physical health, social and economic effects, insights into lived experience, service delivery, and the importance of consumer engagement in co-constructing user-centred models of health, this series explores ways in which Australia could reconsider its current approach and transform hearing health to better meet the growing need.


This series is endorsed by Audiology Australia until 30 June 2021.
Moderator: H:EAR Director, Professor Catherine McMahon
