Narrative:
During a practice approach in visual conditions under VFR flight following at aurora state airport in oregon the student was practicing landings from a straight in on short final to approach another airplane was seen on the runway landing in the opposite direction. We took evasive action by doing an immediate go-around and offset to the right. It was found that the volume control was set very low and the other aircraft's radio communications were not heard.
