Applications of CBT for audiology
There are many conversations that can be difficult to navigate within audiology.
- How do I respond when a person is upset, angry or anxious?
- What do I say when a person thinks a hearing aid will make them look old?
- How can I support a person struggling to adjust to their hearing loss or hearing device?
The cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) course has been endorsed for 20 CPD points and provides the knowledge, skills, and confidence to use counselling skills and CBT to talk about social and emotional concerns with clients at any stage of their hearing healthcare. Find out more and enroll now:

Soundfair’s Hearing Bank
A pair of hearing aids purchased through the private market ranges from $5,000 to $10,000 and Federal Government funding for hearing aids is limited, leaving many people to struggle with hearing conditions on their own.
The Soundfair Hearing Bank offers holistic support and training for people with hearing conditions before sending them home with their recycled hearing aid. Learn more: https://soundfair.org.au/community-projects/hearing-bank/
