The British Society of Audiology was formed in 1967 and aims are to advance audiological research, learning, practice and impact. It is the largest learned audiology society in Europe with a membership of around 1200. We are the leading UK organisation for all professionals integrated in the latest science and its application in improving people’s lives with hearing and balance problems. The membership of the BSA is multi-disciplinary including researchers in hearing and auditory science, educational professionals, and medical professionals such as Ear, Nose, and Throat doctors and Clinical Audiology staff, including Audiologists, Clinical Scientist, Hearing Therapists & the public. Members are from private, statutory and voluntary sectors, nationally and internationally. One of the strengths of the BSA is that it provides an interface between researchers and healthcare practitioners as well as other groups (educationalists, government, independent sector, professional bodies, patient groups and third sector organisations).
