Education

 We travel to local schools for our trained teachers to teach prevention and awareness of otitis media and hearing loss.
​Our lessons cater for children in childcare up until end of Yr 12.
We also provide education sessions for playgroups and other early childhood groups.

From May 2017, our testing moved to our purpose built mobile Ear Bus with a sound treated audiology booth.
