In addition to being a Registered Audiologist in Ontario, Canada, Dr. Singh completed graduate degrees in Social Psychology focused on decision-making and a PhD in Cognitive Psychology. He is also an Adjunct Professor at the University of Toronto, Toronto Metropolitan University, former President of the Canadian Academy of Audiology, and a Fellow of the International Collegium of Rehabilitative Audiology. Dr. Singh’s research primarily focuses on trying to better understand how and why people make decisions about their hearing rehabilitation.
