Hide-Course Content
The programme is aimed specifically at people already employed in the field of Hearing Aid Audiology who wish to gain a recognised qualification to allow them to register and practice as a Hearing Aid Audiologist in the Republic of Ireland and the UK. The course content will reflect this. As recommended by the HSE commissioned National Audiology Review Group report in 2011, registration of Hearing Aid Audiologists (HAAs) would be incorporated within the regulatory scheme in the Republic of Ireland. The report supports the proposal of the Irish Society of Hearing Aid Audiologists (ISHAA) for registration of HAAs based on such a two-year training programme.
