Doctors, especially GPs, play an important role in the prevention, detection and management of hearing loss. GPs are often the first point of contact for patients with hearing difficulties and are ideally placed to monitor at risk individuals, screen for hearing loss and assess individual’s readiness to seek help. New research is continually being published about hearing and hearing loss and keeping up to date with the quantity of new studies is challenging, especially given GPs already considerable workload. Hearing and Audiology offer education sessions for doctors, provided by one of our audiologists, to help you stay informed. These sessions, based on critical evaluations of the current literature, are designed to be short, around 15 minutes in length, and can cover a number of topics, including:
The role of GPs in the detection and management of hearing loss
Hearing loss and diabetes
Hearing loss and cardiovascular disease
Hearing loss and smoking
Tinnitus
Hyperacusis
