HMA Cafe and Chat sessions: Hearing Therapists in the UK by Professor Philip Newall AM

In this Café and Chat session, Professor Philip Newall AM, a member of the HMA Committee, shares his insights and experiences with Hearing Therapists in the UK. Professor Philip reflects on how hearing services in the UK traditionally focused on providing hearing aids with limited follow-up support, often leaving adults struggling to adjust after fitting. He contrasts this with Scandinavian models of care, which emphasise holistic aural rehabilitation, including counselling, communication training, assistive technologies, and ongoing post-fitting support. With these principles in mind, hearing therapists were developed in the UK to bridge this gap, offering education, lipreading, auditory training, counselling, and family involvement to better support people with hearing loss. 👉 Watch now to explore Professor Philip’s valuable perspectives and consider how enhanced post-fitting care and rehabilitation can improve confidence, quality of life, and long-term outcomes for the hearing loss community.
