Hearing Difficulties in Primary Care course for GPs
This session will describe how to best take care of adult patients presenting with hearing difficulties, as well as how to assess and manage those who require referral to first and second levels of audiology care.
Learning Objectives

- Recognise patients with hearing impairment
- Differentiate hearing problems (type, degree, rate of progression, laterality)
