Dr Priya Carling AuD, RHAD and her team will be visiting local primary schools to talk to children aged 5-11 about how to look after their ears and their hearing, both now and in the future.

A leaflet for parents on children’s hearing and how to look after it will also be available.
This activity will be supported by a blog and social media posts.
We will also be offering these schools then opportunity to bring students interested in audiology and medicine as a career path to the practice at a later date to gain a brief understanding of how we work and what is involved in audiogoloy more generally.
