Organisation: Ear Science Institute Australia
Internship Period: Winter (June - July)

The Lions Hearing Aid Bank (LHAB) is operated by Ear Science Institute Australia. It refurbishes donated hearing aids, and provides these to several eligible agencies and communities in low- and middle-income countries. To improve governance, the LHAB has drafted a Donation Partner Application Questionnaire that will be used to assess eligibility to receive and provide hearing aids, and to report on activity. This Donation Partner Application Questionnaire requires validation by a panel of international experts. Alongside this activity, the intern will be trained to assist with cataloguing and evaluation of donated hearing aids.
Outputs of the internship: (i) a validated Donation Partner Application Questionnaire, (ii) a presentation to internal stakeholder, (iii) a draft of research publication for submission to a peer reviewed journal, (iv) an understanding of the operation of hearing aid bank, and the administration of a humanitarian relief program.
