BATOD Resources

BATOD has created an open-access version of their BATOD Audiology Refreshers with up-to-date content in the following sections:

  1. Anatomy and physiology of the ear
  2. Aetiology and types of deafness
  3. Auditory perception and hearing testing
  4. Acoustics and physics of sound
  5. Listening skills and functional hearing
  6. Hearing technologies

In the BATOD Magazine there have been articles presented by Qualified Teachers of Deaf Children and Young People (QToDs), Educational Audiologists and other professionals in deaf education that prove useful in supporting the provision of better acoustics or supportive technology such as personal assistive listening devices and soundfield systems. The research links provide the academic evidence. Contact BATOD exec@batod.org.uk for copies of articles providing evidence underpinning this MESHGuide.
