Rethinking Audiology - A Love Letter and a Critique

I trained as an audiologist, but rarely call myself one these days. In this episode, I unpack the gap between what the profession is trying to do and what it’s actually achieving. Why only a fraction of people who could benefit from hearing care ever receive it. And why new models of care are still being treated as threats rather than solutions.We talk about access, incentives, automation, and the role of consumer technology, and what parts of audiology are genuinely irreplaceable (if any).This is a love letter to hearing science and a reflection on where audiology needs to change.
