Ted Venema is an audiologist, author and educator. He started his career as a clinical audiologist at the Canadian Hearing Society in Toronto and more recently at NextGen Hearing in Victoria BC. Between those years he was with Unitron, a hearing aid manufacturer there he conducted field trials on new hearing aid products. He has also given many presentations both domestically and abroad! Mr. Venema is also the author of the textbook, Compression for Clinicians, which has now been rewritten and is currently in its third edition.

In this episode we discuss: 
1. Why has Dr. Venema begun his audiology career and what has driven him in his career!
2. The process and reasoning behind Teds’ book, which he calls a “download of his brain”.
3. How Dr. Venema teaches in a way that he wishes he was taught himself. 
4. His teachings through both Audiology and Hearing Aid practitioner programs!
