EMBRACE AI!
The benefits of using AI were championed with humour and an assortment of evidence as the substance of the Adrian Davis lecture at the British Academy of Audiology's 2024 Annual Conference. The speaker was Dr. Brent Edwards, Director of the National Acoustic Laboratories (NAL), Australia, interviewed here by Audiology News UK editor-in-chief, Peter Wix.

Society's rigorous welcome to the complex computing dynamic most of us are now used to uncomfortably talking about as artificial intelligence is a defence mechanism perhaps best challenged by experts who have tested the benefits AI brings in areas that, from these days onwards, no longer function without it. For example, audiology.
One of the key reasons why audiology will need AI is that the number of people with hearing loss is growing rapidly, " but the number of audiologists is remaining flat in almost every country", says Dr. Edwards, pointing to data that suggests that even if audiologists become efficient with their services, the gap between the demand for audiologists and those available will still grow. " AI can help fill that gap by helping you be more efficient to see more patients," Edwards underlines.
