What will I learn?

The Hearing Instrument Practitioner Diploma gives you the skills and training to help improve the quality of life for people with hearing loss. The only program of its kind in B.C., this two-year hearing instrument specialist program teaches you how to dispense and program hearing aids, test people’s hearing and counsel patients on managing ongoing hearing loss. As a part of your education, you’ll get hands-on hearing aid technician training at three supervised practicums. During these practicums, you’ll work with actual patients, providing them with hearing evaluations and counselling on test results. Once you graduate, you’ll be ready to apply for the Hearing Instrument Practitioner (HIP) Internship. This internship, done through the College of Speech and Hearing Health Professionals of British Columbia (CSHBC), is a necessary step to becoming a Registered Hearing Instrument Practitioner (RHIP) in B.C.
