The British Society of Audiology was formed in 1967 and aims are to advance audiological research, learning, practice and impact. It is the largest learned audiology society in Europe with a membership of around 1200. We are the leading UK organisation for all professionals integrated in the latest science and its application in improving people’s lives with hearing and balance problems.
British Academy of Audiology

We are the largest association of professionals in hearing and balance in the UK. Our membership extends internationally and provides services in both the public and private sector.
British Association of Paediatricians in Audiology (BAPA)
The British Association of Paediatricians in Audiology (BAPA) was inaugurated in 2007 as an association of paediatricians practising audio-vestibular medicine.
BAPA has its roots in the former British Association of Community Doctors in Audiology (BACDA) an organisation begun in 1985 by a small group of clinicians dedicated to the development of high quality hearing assessments for children. For a small society BACDA has been remarkably effective for over 20 years.
