Welcome to AUD-M-ED.

We are a charity focused on providing resources to aid the prevention, detection and management of hearing impairment and deafness in developing countries.

The Trustees intend to raise funds to support projects and send trainers, equipment, training materials and scientific literature to developing countries. Initially there will be no money spent on administration but as the Trust grows in size it is anticipated that there will be small administration costs.

The aims of AUDMED are to:-

• Raise awareness of the causes of hearing impairment
• Train people to detect, diagnose and manage hearing problems in childhood and adult life
• Provide specialised equipment
• Enable professionals to attend updating courses and conferences
• Fund research in areas of need
