Building sustainable access to speech and hearing care
Access to hearing and speech care remains out of reach for many. A recent experience in Cambodia highlights why global collaboration and training matter.
Sam Sambi
Sam has been with Sonova since early 2018, beginning her role in Sales with Phonak and then moving into Sonova’s Audiology & Training role in 2022. She has seven years of experience in Private Practice as a clinical Audiologist dealing with children and adults. Whilst never having heard of Audiology, a desire to improve her mother’s hearing is what got Sam into the field. She graduated with a Master of Clinical Audiology from the University of Melbourne and completed her Post-Professional Doctor of Audiology with ATSU, Arizona in June 2023. Sam’s key Audiological passion is to help improve the quality of life for those living with hearing loss with an interest in how hearing aid technology can provide people with real world benefits.
Importance of social fluency in hearing healthcare
Our human need for social connections is strong. As hearing care professionals, addressing social fluency can make it easier for your patients to understand the link between hearing well and maintaining social connections.
