Who can join?
The BAEA membership comprises mostly those Educational Audiologists working within education support services or schools for deaf children and young people. However, other members come from a wide range of backgrounds and interest in paediatric audiology or deaf children such as Qualified Teachers of Deaf Children and Young People, hospital paediatric audiologists, speech therapists, those working in auditory/cochlear implant centres, and hearing aid manufacturers.
