  • Despite having the largest economy in South America or Central America, Brazil is still considered a developing country due to its low gross domestic product, or GDP, per capita, low living standards, high infant mortality rate and other factors. "With regard to hearing health, the Brazilian government established the national policy for giving attention to hearing health in 2004, in which the Ministry of Health, considering the social magnitude of hearing impairment in the Brazilian population and its consequences, presented the proposal to structure a network of services set up by regions and in hierarchy that aims to be implemented in all federative units of Brazil, with integrated actions to promote ear health, hearing impairment prevention, treatment and rehabilitation organized and managed by the National Health System, Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS), in Portuguese," writes Bevilacqua et al. (2010) In Brazil, audiology grew out of the field of ear nose and throat (ENT) medical field. According to Bevilacqua et al. (2008), the majority of audiologists in Brazil work at private institutions, including private medical practices and dedicated speech and hearing clinics. They are also employed in public institutions, such as community clinics, elementary schools, colleges, and universities. Audiologists perform diagnostic evaluations of auditory and vestibular disorders, select and fit hearing aids, and provide aural rehabilitation. They may also assist with workers’ health programs, dispense hearing aids, and aural rehabilitation in the public sector. (en)
