The Center works across five core areas including producing public health evidence\, building public awareness\, developing new care models\, informing healthcare policy\, and testing new hearing technologies. Two active initiatives will be highlighted during this presentation. The first initiative is the Know Your Hearing Number campaign that seeks to establish the four-frequency PTA as the universal hearing metric that consumers use to understand their hearing and engage with hearing technology. The second initiative involves ongoing health policy efforts in the United States on over-the-counter hearing aid regulations and Medicare insurance coverage of hearing care. \nProf Frank Lin\nBio: Dr Frank R. Lin\, M.D.\, Ph.D.\, is the director of the Cochlear Center for Hearing and Public Health and a Professor of Otolaryngology\, Medicine\, Mental Health\, and Epidemiology at Johns Hopkins. Dr Lin is trained as an otologist with medical and surgical expertise in the management of hearing loss while his research is focused on studying questions at the interface of hearing loss\, gerontology\, and public health. \nTitle: Reframing Adult-Onset Hearing Loss as a Public Health Challenge\nAbstract: Despite the high prevalence of adults-onset hearing loss\, ear and hearing care is poorly integrated into systems of health in Australia and globally. We are currently working to change this through our program of research by applying a public health lens to hearing loss in adults. This includes projects that are improving the capture and use of robust contemporary data. Several examples will be provided including projects initiated in 2022 such as the very first Australian Eye and Ear Health Survey and the Hearing impairment in Adults: a Longitudinal Outcomes Study (HALOS). There will also be a focus on initiatives that aim to develop and implement evidence-based strategies to mitigate the negative impacts of adult-onset hearing loss and enhance the uptake of hearing health services\, such as the Hearing Impairment Data Infrastructure (HEIDI) Study. The coordination and partnership among a range of key stakeholders underlies all these initiatives and this will be highlighted\, as this is critical to ensuring the inclusion of adult-onset hearing loss as part of a broader public health strategy. \nProf Bamini Gopinath\nBio: Professor Bamini Gopinath is the inaugural Cochlear Chair in Hearing and Health. In this role she leads the Public Health and Policy Pillar of MU Hearing. She is an epidemiologist who has been actively involved in developing and conducting numerous population health studies. To date she has co-authored over 240 peer-reviewed papers\, several of which have been in high-ranking medical and health journals (with over 5800 citations to her name). Her publications have attracted >400 media stories with an estimated audience of 210 million people worldwide. Using large population datasets Bamini has provided novel community-based evidence on the health determinants and health outcomes associated with a sensory loss and disability. Her ongoing research in the public health field aims to translate key study findings into health policy and practice\, with the intention of targeting current gaps that exist in Australian healthcare.

SUMMARY:AHH & MU Hearing Seminar - Shirley Mak-Parisi\, TALi Health ...
DESCRIPTION:Topic: TALi Health\nPresenter: Shirley Mak-Parisi\nDate: Tuesday 13 September\nTime: 10.00am – 12.00pm followed by networking and refreshments\nLocation: Lecture theatre \, Level 1\, AHH / Zoom \nRegister via Eventbrite\nRegistration: Free public seminar\nRegister by Thursday 8 September – please select in person ticket or zoom ticket \nIf you have accessibility requirements\, please contact Sally.Piper@mq.edu.au to organise.\nAgenda:\n10.00am – 10.05am – Welcome\n10.05am – 10.50am – Presentation\n10.50am – 11.15am – Q&A and discussion\n11.15am – 12.00am – Networking & Refreshments \nAbstract:\nTALi created Ready\, Attention\, Go! as a digital therapeutic to develop attention functions in children between the ages of 3-10 facing in-attention issues by playing digitized and gamified tasks. \nThe presentation is an overview of the games that TALi has created and the science behind them. TALi’s philosophy is that attention is a predictor of educational outcomes\, mental health\, social skills\, and relationships. Early intervention is key to better outcomes\, especially in cognitive developmental disorders. \nThe goal will be to show what TALi is doing and to learn from the experts in the room about what we can do better to prepare for the future. The Hearing Hub has lessons that we can learn from. Early intervention is the key to these neurological conditions\, but how does industry help drive the public policy and practice towards the same goal? The regulating authorities are asking for validated findings while the clinicians and parents are looking for behavioral results. Are there different ways of collecting and presenting data so that it satisfies everyone’s needs? Are we asking the right questions and collecting the right data? As digital therapeutics mature\, is there a better way to help patients and their families? \nBio:\nShirley Mak-Parisi has over 20 years experience in commercial clinical research\, beginning as a clinical research associate to now as the Head of Clinical Operations and Strategy at TALi.Shirley earned a Bachelor’s degree in behavioural neuroscience and criminal justice from Northeastern University in Massachusetts and a Master’s degree in forensic psychology from Castleton State College in Vermont.During her clinical research career\, Shirley has designed\, planned and executed many clinical research projects. She is skilled at medical writing and data analysis\, as well as global studies team management. \nCovid allowed her to understand that delivery of medical care should change\, especially care for chronic conditions. She has a passion for digital therapeutics being a key to supporting people and families with chronic health conditions- removing some of the burden for patients as well as medical professionals. In her role at TALi\, she gets to play games\, make sure they are psychometrically valid\, and strategize the best way to get this into the hands of people who need them. This role is the perfect combination of gamification of medicine and science.

SUMMARY:Beyond Speech Workshop 2023: Exploring cultural and linguistic diversity in children with hearing loss
DESCRIPTION:Many children with hearing loss communicate using more than one language\, or are otherwise culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD). Support services for children with hearing loss have a growing awareness of the specific needs of these groups. A better understanding of the strengths and challenges facing CALD children with hearing loss in developing language skills has the potential to achieve improved outcomes. Continuing from the Beyond Speech multidisciplinary workshops of 2020\, 2021 and 2022\, this year’s online workshop offers new research findings on how language development proceeds in children with hearing loss\, particularly in multilingual and CALD contexts. The workshop will also bring together perspectives from clinicians to discuss strategies to support children in these contexts. For more information or to register\, please see our website: http://goto.mq/beyondspeechworkshop2023 \n  \nThe Child Language lab is currently recruiting children for several studies: \n\nNormal hearing 2-6-year-olds speaking mainly English at home (email Nan Xu Rattanasone nan.xu@mq.edu.au)\nNormal hearing 4-6 year-olds\, using English as their only language (email Elise Tobin elise.tobin@hdr.mq.edu.au)\nNormal hearing 4-6 year-olds\, using English as their only language\, with a Speech Sound Disorder diagnosis & without additional needs (email Elise Tobin elise.tobin@hdr.mq.edu.au)\n\nOR register your general interest in participating in our studies here \nhttps://redcap.mq.edu.au/surveys/?s=X7KECL7J43

(Juliette Sterkens)\n12:00pm –  1:00pm                 Light lunch and networking  \nTitles\, Abstract and bios: \n\n\n\n  \nTitle: What are Hearing Assistive Technologies? \nAbstract: The demise of telecoils has been predicted for years. Audio companies tout that real-time audio transmission over Wi-Fi is ready to replace hearing loops and FM/IR systems. EHIMA (the European Hearing Instrument Manufacturers Association) and BT SIG in 2021 introduced a Auracast\, a BT LE audio technology yet hearing aid manufacturers are introducing flagship hearing aids with telecoils. Just what is a provider or a consumer to do? This session will cover current and future trends in hearing assistive listening and the role of the telecoil. \nWhy is this program important? Hearing loops and other assistive listening systems with neck loops give hearing aids and cochlear implant users access to clear sound in in places where poor acoustics\, distance or background noise can make it even difficult for normal hearing people to hear. Many hearing aid and CI users are unaware of assistive technology. This presentation is meant to educate attendees as to current and future developments in assistive technology and to motivate attendees to take up advocacy for effective hearing access in their communities. \n \n\n\nBIO: Dutch born audiologist Juliëtte Sterkens has 40+ years of experience in the field of audiology and hearing rehabilitation. She is on her encore career as a consumer and hearing loop advocate for the Hearing Loss Association of America (HLAA). In this capacity she lectures to consumers and hearing professionals and supports anyone who wants to foster a hearing loop in their personal house of worship\, or in local public spaces. Her efforts have resulted in thousands of loops around the country and for these efforts she has received numerous awards. She is a member of HLAA’s Get in the Hearing Loop (GITHL) National Taskforce\, member at large of the WI State Chapter of HLAA Board and serves on the board of the Hear in the Fox Cities; a nonprofit that helps pay for hearing aids for children and teens in NE\, Wisconsin.
