Overview of our courses
Impression taking needs to be carried out for many reasons. Most commonly in the NHS or private hearing aid dispensing ear impressions are required to create ear moulds for hearing aids. However, ear impressions are also required for custom made swim plugs, musician’s ear plugs and custom hearing protection. In order to make the best product available, a good accurate impression is imperative.
Our otoscopy & impression taking courses will teach you how to take impressions safely and according to the BSA recommended procedure. You will be provided with practical time and knowledge to make sure that your impression reaches the second bend of the ear canal.
We also provide training for Occupational Health Workers/Therapists and Occupational Audiologists who work within occupational audiology and who require skills in audiometry.
The British Society of Audiology (BSA) accredits our courses in Surveillance Audiometry (formally Industrial Audiometry) and the Basic Audiometry and Tympanometry course. These courses are designed for people with no or limited background knowledge or training in audiology.
Our Surveillance Audiometry course is tailored to those carrying out hearing tests in the work place for employees undergoing hearing surveillance, and includes noise management and hearing protection. The Basic Audiometry and Tympanometry course is more detailed, and may be more useful for those working alongside or within a health-based profession (e.g. assistant audiologists, nurses or GPs).
Both audiometry courses teach individuals how to carry out hearing tests according to the BSA recommended procedure. Practical and theoretical competency for this skill is assessed before a certificate is obtained. It is also possible to obtain your audiometry and tympanometry certificate separately.
We are proud to partner with Puretone, the UK’s market leader in audiological equipment supplies.
