A free instructional video designed to fit within a 30 minute in-service session for staff as well as for pre-service training.
The video opens with residents talking frankly about their experience of hearing loss and its impacts. This leads on to effective ways of speaking to someone with a hearing loss and then to a thorough demonstration of essential skills needed to manage and trouble shoot hearing aids.
