Career prospects
The Doctor of Hearing Therapy is a unique qualification providing you with opportunities to study rehabilitative practices and develop your communication and counselling skills. It enables a critical and original reading of audiological practices, enabling problem-solving and applying audiology to marginalised and complex patient groups.

Rehabilitation continues to be a core part of providing audiological care. Audiology patients are predominantly service users for life and their needs are only partly addressed by technological solutions. The importance of continuing to deliver rehabilitation opportunities beyond hearing aids and to support education and social care provision of services has been recognised in the Department of Health Action Plan.
