Aligning HSP subsidised hearing devices with today’s technology

The National Acoustic Laboratories has completed a review of the minimum specifications for subsidised hearing devices under the Australian Government’s Hearing Services Program (HSP), which funds over A$600 million in services and devices for people with hearing loss.

NAL experts shared insights on the unmet need, approach, outcome and impact of this project, captured in this video below.

This work provides a modernised framework for hearing device standards that supports improved access to innovative technologies for Australians and reinforces stakeholder-driven approaches to health technology policy.
