Join us for this in-person ENT update, an engaging and practical session designed to help GPs stay current with best-practice ear and hearing care. Discussion will cover the identification and referral pathways for paediatric hearing loss and otitis media with effusion (OME), management of the discharging ear in both children and adults and a refresher on hearing tests for general practice. We’ll also explore the public health burden of undetected adult hearing loss, early intervention options beyond hearing aids, otologic emergencies in primary care, and the detection and urgent management of sudden hearing loss. Part of Inner West CPD series.
