I apologise for interrupting, but will Professor MacLachlan unpack what he means by "competence"? I want to make sure I understand what he means. If I believe I am hearing-impaired, I can have immediate access to being assessed for hearing aids. Is the competence in the audiologists and the accessibility to them, or does the competence lie in the actual assistive technology in that case? Will the Professor explain that a bit more?
