2020 Public Health and Hearing Webinar Series

June 16, 2020 @ 12:00 am AEST

H:EAR and AHH

This online seminar series will explore and challenge current thinking on hearing loss in older adults – from a mere inconvenience to a major public health problem, affecting mental and physical health, social interactions, and increasing economic costs to society.

It will provide insights into the lived experience – necessary for understanding how to redesign approaches to healthcare. The series will discuss ways in which hearing healthcare is delivered, explore the evidence which supports the existing service delivery model, identify challenges to this, and propose innovative solutions to address this. Finally, the series will discuss the importance of consumer engagement in co-constructing user-centred models of health, and will explore ways in which Australia could reconsider its current approach and transform hearing health to better meet the growing need.
