Centre for Hearing and Balance Studies (CHBS)

The Centre is one of the UK’s leading centres in the field of audiology. We have a particular interest in people who have problems related to hearing and balance and how the impact of a hearing or balance difficulty can be managed or improved enabling someone to participate effectively in everyday life.

Teaching within the Centre is focussed on informing the professional practice of people concerned with delivering audiology services, through the pre-registration undergraduate course (BSc Audiology), the MSc in Rehabilitative Audiology, and a range of continuing professional development courses.

Research within the Centre reflects our interest in informing successful professional practice as well as understanding the needs of existing and potential patients and their families.
