Inner Ear Secrets: An Audiology Podcast

Season 2 | Episode 6: How Occupational Therapists Support Hearing & Balance


Listen Later

Hearing and balance issues don’t exist in isolation. In complex adult cases, they can quietly shape a person’s safety, independence, and quality of life in ways that aren’t always obvious in clinic.

In this episode, we sit down with Emily Calabro, an occupational therapist from the regional Gippsland adults community team, to explore how OTs support clients beyond traditional hearing care.

In this episode, we cover:

  1. How OTs help clients manage everyday tasks at home
  2. Where hearing loss and balance fit into the OT scope of care
  3. When and why OTs refer clients to audiology
  4. Practical strategies for audiologists and OTs to collaborate for better outcomes
  5. (Emily Calabro introduction at 2:24)

    Whether you are a student, new graduate, or experienced clinician, this episode offers a fresh perspective on hearing care that extends beyond the clinic walls.
