Commitment
This site is intended to be usable by everyone, including people who use screen readers, keyboard navigation or magnification, and people for whom motion is uncomfortable. It aims to meet the WCAG 2.2 AA guidelines.
What has been done
- Semantic HTML with one main heading per page, meaningful heading order, landmarks and a skip link.
- Colour contrast at or above AA for text on all backgrounds; gold is used only for accents and large text.
- All functionality available by keyboard; visible focus indicators; the mobile menu and expandable sections announce their state.
- Diagrams are SVG with text alternatives and are described in the surrounding text; decorative images are hidden from assistive technology.
- Animations are subtle and are switched off when the operating system’s “reduce motion” setting is on. Nothing flashes.
- Text scales with browser settings; layouts reflow to a single column on small screens.
- The contact form has labelled fields, error messages associated with the fields, and works without JavaScript.
Known limitations
Some interactive diagrams convey relationships visually that are summarised, but not fully reproduced, in text. Expandable “professional insight” sections rely on native HTML disclosure elements, which older assistive technology may handle inconsistently.
Feedback

This page provides general educational information. It cannot replace an individual assessment, which depends on a full history, examination, audiometry and, where relevant, imaging. If you have sudden hearing loss, severe pain, facial weakness, severe dizziness or discharge with fever, seek medical care promptly.
