Listen Later

How does audiology intersect with the legal system? Dr. Robert Traynor, an expert in forensic audiology, delves into this unique area where audiologists apply their knowledge to assist in legal cases involving hearing loss, tinnitus, and injury claims. Dr. Traynor, inspired by Marc Kramer’s 1982 book Forensic Audiology, explains how forensic audiologists help attorneys and courts understand complex auditory issues, whether in noise-induced hearing loss lawsuits or other legal disputes involving hearing health.

Dr. Traynor emphasizes the need for expertise, attention to detail, and proper training in forensic audiology. He explains the process of becoming an expert witness, from preparing comprehensive reports to testifying in court under cross-examination. For audiologists considering this path, Dr. Traynor highlights forensic audiology as a rewarding career choice that not only elevates individual careers but also enhances the standing of the profession.
