My hearing loss journey offers a unique perspective that can greatly support and encourage medical professionals who work with patients experiencing hearing loss. By sharing firsthand experiences, challenges, and triumphs, together we can provide valuable insights into the emotional and practical aspects of living with hearing loss. This can help motivate healthcare professionals develop a deeper understanding of their patients' perspectives, improve communication strategies, and enhance overall patient care.  Additionally, My journey can inspire medical professionals to stay updated with the latest advancements in hearing technology and treatment options, fostering a proactive and compassionate approach to patient care within the field of audiology and otolaryngology.

Through one on one support and building groups like CICADA Queensland, I aim to inspire individuals to embrace their journeys, overcome obstacles, and thrive in a world of limitless possibilities despite hearing loss.

My personal journey of profound sensorineural hearing loss, and receiving a cochlear implant has ignited a passion within me to support others facing similar challenges. I believe that not only individuals with hearing loss but also their partners need support and understanding. Through group support and public speaking, I aim to inspire both individuals and their support networks to embrace their journeys, overcome obstacles, and thrive in a world of limitless possibilities despite hearing loss.
