Counselling can be conducted by implementing patient-centred care (PCC), showing improved patient outcomes; however, it has been poorly implemented in healthcare in South Africa (SA), particularly in the field of audiology for this condition.Objectives:\u00a0This study aimed to report on audiologists\u2019 presbycusis and tinnitus counselling practices as guided by the PCC framework within KwaZulu-Natal (KZN).Method:\u00a0Quantitative semi-structured online surveys were conducted using purposive sampling of 41 audiologists practising in both the public and private sectors within KZN.Results:\u00a0This study revealed that 7.3% (n\u00a0= 3) of participants provided only compensation for hearing loss without counselling, and only 2.4% (n\u00a0= 1) of participants offered group counselling. Apart from this, 7.9% (n\u00a0= 3) reported that tools and resources in counselling were not useful, whilst 12.5% (n\u00a0= 5) reported that counselling was not multiculturally sensitive. Furthermore, a\u00a0p\u00a0= 0.044 suggests the public sector reported a dire need for improved training in counselling as compared with the private sector.Conclusion:\u00a0Audiologists have been providing services within PCC to the best of their capabilities and their environments; however, there is still room to better implement PCC for improved patient outcomes. PCC has not been fully implemented into counselling practices in terms of patient preferences, emotional support, involvement of significant others, integrated care and education.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4102\/sajcd.v69i1.869","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,4]],"date-time":"2022-08-04T13:53:29Z","timestamp":1659621209000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Audiologists\u2019
