The Hearing Education and Research Network (HEARnet) is a not-for-profit website currently being developed by the HEARing CRC to provide a set of niche information services that facilitate the uptake of HEARing CRC research outcomes and associated technologies.

 Through HEARnet, the HEARing CRC will:

• Provide online information about hearing mitigation technologies to adults, children and families affected by hearing loss;
• Host online training modules to transfer the knowledge and skills required to use new technologies and services developed by the HEARing CRC to best effect in the clinic;
• Improve community knowledge about the risks of noise-induced hearing loss; and
• Establish an online network to link HEARing CRC with other organisations and researchers with common interests in hearing technologies and hearing-loss prevention.

We are keen to hear from individuals and organisations wanting to be involved with HEARnet.  If you would like to find out more, please contact the HEARnet Manager Greg Lawrence on (03) 9035 3987.

HEARnet is expected to go live in 2012.
