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
