Iain completed his Masters of Audiology at the Institute of Sound and Vibration Research of the University of Southampton in 1977. Following 3 years of further research at the Institute, Iain gained extensive experience in clinical investigation of hearing and balance disorders while working as a clinical Audiologist in hospitals in New Zealand and Melbourne, and then as Head of Audiology at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital in Perth. As Director, he set up Medical Audiology Services in West Perth to offer hearing and balance investigation and aural rehabilitation services in a private setting in 1988 and later established his own practice as Iain Summerlin Audiologist (now Summerlin Audiology) in 1992. Iain has the benefit of a background in diagnostics coupled with a desire to keep up to date with the current developments in hearing aid technology, so that he can offer the best counsel to patients needing answers to their hearing problems.

Robert joined Summerlin Audiology in January 2022, after graduating from the University of Western Australia with a Masters in Clinical Audiology.
