In such cases referral must be made to a suitably qualified audiological or medical professional. \nTympanometry shall be used as part of a battery of tests to identify any abnormalities of the middle or outer ear. This training course prepares delegates to interpret tympanometry traces and to explain results to patients/clients and/or refer appropriately. However\, it is ultimately the responsibility of the supervisor/medical professional to ensure suitable ongoing management for the client.\nThis BSA accredited course will enable you to:\noPerform otoscopy reliably and according to BSA recommended procedure \nUndertake air conduction and bone conduction audiometry (without masking) and tympanometry and according to BSA recommended procedure\noCarry out Stage A checks and understand the requirements for calibration of equipment\noOperate a sound level meter and measure ambient noise levels\noInterpret results and findings\, recording results\noCommunicate results and findings to other professionals.\n•A certificate will be awarded upon full attendance of the course\, with successful completion of both the practical and written assessment.

SUMMARY:Save the date - BATOD Deaf studies pilot programme - Session 3a
DESCRIPTION:Weds 24th June 2026 \n4-5.30pm \nPresenter: Robert Adam \n3a. The ban of sign language in deaf education and the impact on deaf people’s lives today  \nThe historic ban on sign language in Deaf education has had lasting consequences\, deeply shaping the experiences of Deaf individuals today. The exclusion of Deaf professionals from teaching roles led to white women being appointed as educators for Deaf children and young people\, often without lived experience of Deaf culture. This systemic shift contributed to audism—the belief that spoken language is superior—limiting opportunities for Deaf individuals to pursue careers and develop professional identities. The impact on Deaf children was profound\, as they were often deprived of natural language acquisition in sign language\, affecting their cognitive\, social\, and professional development. Even today\, Deaf professionals continue to navigate barriers created by these historical injustices\, working to reclaim spaces within education and beyond to empower future generations. The resilience of the Deaf community is evident in efforts to restore sign language’s rightful place in education\, combat audism\, and promote inclusive learning environments that respect Deaf culture and identity. \nRegister your place via the Eventbrite booking link

SUMMARY:Save the date - BATOD Deaf studies pilot programme - Session 2c
DESCRIPTION:Weds 17th June 2026 \n4-5.30pm \nPresenter: Annelies Kusters \n2c. Deaf space \nDeaf spaces take many different forms. They can be organised in institutions\, such as clubs\, associations\, schools\, universities\, and conferences\, or come into existence informally\, such as cafés\, family gatherings\, or spontaneous encounters. They exist offline and online. Within these spaces\, deaf people connect through shared experiences and sign languages\, but they also set up spaces around specific shared interests\, backgrounds\, or life experiences in addition to deafness\, such as in queer deaf spaces\, or deaf spaces consisting mostly of migrants. Deaf spaces can be supportive and celebratory\, but they can also be exclusionary\, reflecting differences related to language background\, race\, class\, gender\, sexuality\, disability\, religion\, or migration histories. Exploring this diversity of deaf spaces shows how deaf people actively build environments that foreground sign language communication\, while also negotiating inclusion and exclusion in complex ways. \nRegister your place via the Eventbrite booking link

SUMMARY:Save the date - BATOD Deaf studies pilot programme - Session 2b
DESCRIPTION:Weds 20th May 2026 \n4-5.30pm \nPresenter from Saved By The Sign \n2b. The history of Deaf Education (and local Deaf schools/provisions)  \nThe 1880 Milan Conference marked a turning point in deaf education\, favouring oralism over sign language and shaping policies for decades. Conrad and Warnock later contributed significant insights into deaf education\, advocating for more inclusive approaches. The READY study further examined the effectiveness of various educational strategies\, reflecting the evolving terminology that acknowledges a range of approaches to deaf learning. Over time\, provisions for deaf students have shifted\, transitioning from specialist schools to resource provisions and mainstream education\, offering diverse opportunities for communication and learning. The impact of technology on deaf education has been profound\, introducing innovations such as cochlear implants\, digital hearing aids\, and improved accessibility tools\, reshaping how deaf individuals engage with learning and the broader world. \n
