Aims

The Internet Institute for Speech and Hearing aims to be the best source of information about the science and technology of speech and hearing.  It is run by professionals with a long involvement in the field, both in terms of teaching and research.  On our pages you will be sure to find authoritative advice and links to quality sources, each of which has been checked for accuracy and utility.

The Institute caters for the lay person and the student as well as the professional.  We hope that a lot of the resources we collect on these pages will be of use to anyone learning about the field, or wishing to work in the field.
