Join us at The Ear Foundation to explore the latest in hearing technologies and communication strategies in a technological era. This initiative, funded by the UK, serves a global need for information, with thousands of delegates enrolling in our workshops annually and millions visiting our website. With over 80,000 deaf students worldwide benefiting from cochlear implants, we offer valuable resources for professionals and families. As part of the University's Strategic Plan, our commitment to social responsibility drives the expansion of open courseware to increase learning opportunities for all. Dive into our interactive materials, face-to-face support resources, and assessment tools tailored for audiologists, speech and language therapists, teachers of the deaf, and teaching assistants. Evaluation is scheduled for September, with the project slated to conclude in October.
