Description

Hearing loss isn’t just a local issue — it’s a global one. Millions of people worldwide live without access to hearing checks, hearing aids, or even basic awareness of hearing health. When hearing loss goes untreated, the impact can last a lifetime.

In this season finale, we sit down with Dr Chris Waterworth, an audiologist who has worked across remote Australia and international communities, to explore what hearing care looks like on a global stage.

In this episode, we cover:

  1. How hearing care is delivered in resource-limited settings
  2. The barriers of access, stigma, and workforce shortages
  3. The power of collaboration across health disciplines
  4. What it takes to build sustainable hearing programs
