Proud to lead a global effort with 34 experts in the ICCARP Audiovestibular Group! 🌍📢

We recommend removing presbycusis (AB54) as a standalone dx + using AB51 for all acquired HL, with WHO severity codes.

Honoured to present today at the #MakeListeningSafe Workstream Full Group Meeting #WHO

Grateful for the opportunity to share insights on the links between #hearingloss, #depression, and how noise exposure drives #healthinequities.

It’s time to make the right kind of #noise 💥

Funny how things come full circle 🔄

A decade ago, I applied for a PhD with what was then a novel approach. It didn’t get funded ❌

Now, I was on the panel that funded a fellowship proposing that same approach—led by the mentee of that supervisor!

Good ideas find their time 💫

Honoured to be part of the journey to bring this film to life. Its message of #connection and #presence reflects years of my own inner and professional work, and I hope it will resonate with many.

Thought I’d maxed out the academic ridiculousness scale submitting a paper at 10pm on a Sunday… then someone hit me with an email approving my ethics application at 23:38. Academia isn’t a job, it’s a late-night cult. #academiclife #night_owl_energy

In a society where "situationships" have become commonplace, a century of research shows that the strongest predictor of happiness and life satisfaction is having deep, meaningful relationships.

It's no surprise we're in a mental health crisis.

Decades of wellness studies have identified a formula for happiness, but you won’t figure it out alone.

Still deep in our session with Prof Tamsin Bradley on the nature of research impact in ending violence against women and girls (VAWG). But it’s worth mentioning the lovely lunch we had just now out in the sun @cumberlandlodge.bsky.social 🌞

Looking forward to tomorrow’s @britacadaudiology.bsky.social
Regional Meeting where I’ll be discussing ’Public Hearing Health – Who’s Listening? 🎧

From a #publichealth perspective, #hearingloss is much more than a sensory impairment—it’s a key issue in #healthequity and #wellbeing.

Working on a paper about behavioural drivers for #hearinghealth protection in noisy jobs and accidentally ended up in a live case study 😬 - just spotted the worker in my kitchen using a very loud manual tool with no ear protection. 🤦‍♂️👂🔊🙉

Well, that paper can wait… 😅

Publication alert 🔔

Every individual ages uniquely.

We as a consortium believe the term normative ageing, the expected trajectory of #ageing based on data derived from a particular population, best encapsulates this phenomenon.
