Join guest speaker Professor Julia Sarant at the first
of a two-part audiology series for the May NSW/ACT monthly tutorials.
Julia Sarant is an audiologist and leads the Hearing Loss & Cognition
Program in the Department of Audiology and Speech Pathology.
Julia has extensive clinical research experience in deafness, cochlear and
implants and hearing aids. Her current research program is investigating whether
treatment of hearing loss (hearing aids / cochlear implants) can delay decline /
improve cognitive function, medical comorbidities and markers/predictors of
hearing loss, neuroimaging studies on the relationship between hearing
loss-related brain pathology and dementia, the identification of barriers to
medical referral for hearing care, barriers to hearing aid uptake and use,
development of interventions to address these barriers, and health economics
evaluations of the feasibility and cost-effectiveness of various
interventions.
