The book reflects on contextually relevant and responsive evidence-based perspectives, grounded in an African context on preventive audiology, in four major ear and hearing burdens of disease within the South African context: (1) early hearing detection and intervention, (2) middle ear pathologies, (3) ototoxicity, and (4) noise-induced hearing loss. The book represents innovative research, seen from both a South African and global perspective. It offers new discourse and argues for a paradigm shift in how audiology is theorised and performed, particularly in low-and-middle-income country contexts. The goal of this book is to motivate a paradigm shift in how the ear and hearing care is approached within this low-and-middle-income country context while arguing for Afrocentric best practice evidence that leads to next practice. 606 $aForensic audiology 615 0$aForensic audiology. 676 $a614.1 700 $aKhoza-Shangase$b Katijah$01278224 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910634083003321 996 $aPreventive audiology$93012891 997 $aUNINA
