About the Author
Dr. Adele Goman is a Lecturer at Edinburgh Napier University and Associate Faculty of the Johns Hopkins Cochlear Center for Hearing and Public Health. During her undergraduate degree, she undertook advanced modules in hearing science and completed research projects in the auditory perception laboratories, which led her to pursue a Ph.D. She received her Ph.D. in Psychology from the University of York, in which she investigated the clinical and cost effectiveness of interventions for adults with severe to profound hearing loss. She then completed postdoctoral training with a focus on hearing loss epidemiology, public health and clinical trials at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, USA. Her current research interests include the individual and societal impact of hearing loss and hearing loss interventions on health and wellbeing, and addressing barriers and inequalities in hearing care and hearing technology utilisation.
