HEDip Hearing Aid Audiology

About

Hearing aid audiology has grown rapidly as a professional health service in recent years. Its a rewarding career where you help individuals with hearing loss get the hearing aids they need to improve their everyday quality of life. This course will equip you with the skills and knowledge that you need to move into a career as a hearing aid audiologist in the NHS and a hearing aid dispenser in the private sector.

Learn how to identify hearing loss in patients, and how to prescribe and fit hearing aids.

Gain vital expertise in the rehabilitation and aftercare needed by hearing aid users.

Study a range of modules each year related to hearing aid audiology. Some of these modules will be delivered on campus to provide you with practical experience in various aspects of audiological assessment and management. To support your learning in the workplace you will have access to a virtual learning environment where you will complete the rest of your modules.

This is the only Hearing Aid Audiology course in Scotland.

You'll learn in our bespoke clinical suite of audiology rooms on campus.

Fit your learning in around your current employment.

This course combines distance, on-campus and workplace learning. You must work in a clinically relevant area while you study. In Year One, you will come to campus for four week-long sessions of classroom-based lectures and lab work. In Year Two there will only be two of these weeks. Once you return to your workplace your appointed clinical educator will then supervise you in working with people with hearing loss.

You can be based locally, nationally or internationally. Our virtual learning environment makes it easier for students to interact wherever they are. It also means we can help you learn in the way that best suits you. The curriculum is specifically designed to help you become an independent, reflective practitioner.
