"In Australia about 3.6 million people have some level of hearing loss. More than 1.3 million Australians live with a hearing condition that could have been prevented. More than 1 in 3 Australians have noise-related ear damage.” * There are many important causes and presentations of hearing loss, this webinar will mainly focus on progressive hearing loss associated with aging and the importance of recognising the social and emotional aspects of this type of hearing loss . General Practice is ideally placed to discuss hearing health with patients and help to reduce stigma associated with seeking help especially for age and noise related hearing loss. We need to familiarise ourselves with good evidence based team practice in relation to hearing testing and hearing devices.
