Claire Benton
BAA President

I am a registered Clinical Scientist and Hearing Aid Dispenser. I have worked in audiology for nearly 30 years, most of which have been within the NHS. While I trained in all areas of audiology, I have mainly specialised in paediatric audiology. In the latter years, I have primarily worked with children with tinnitus or hyperacusis.

Throughout my career, I have always been involved with my professional body, beginning with being on the CAC and HTS committees, completing two terms on the BAA board, and being co-opted back in 2022 to lead the successful bid for the World Congress of Audiology in 2028.

Whilst continuing to plan for the WCA, I am looking forward to supporting our profession through the inevitable changes that are to come and working with the Board and other bodies to bring sustainable improvement to Audiology for all.
