End of Year Event and a talk on “Understanding Hearing Loss and its effect on the Brain and Overall Well-being”
The end-of-year event of Hawke’s Bay Branch of the Royal Society Te Apārangi will kick off with nibbles and drinks at 5:30 pm, followed by a talk from Jinice Bautista-Lack, Doctor of Audiology.
Jinice will discuss the changes in the human brain that accompany hearing loss, as well as the positive outcomes of managing hearing loss through amplification. She will also present statistics on hearing loss in New Zealand, with a focus on one of the country’s most common causes: excessive noise.
Jinice has been practising as a clinical audiologist since 2013, with nine years of experience in New Zealand. She holds a Master’s in Clinical Audiology from the University of Santo Tomas in the Philippines and a Doctor of Audiology Degree from Salus University in the USA. Jinice is a full member of the New Zealand Audiological Society, where she volunteers as a Certificate of Clinical Competence Support Person and serves as an Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) examiner. She currently works at Specsavers, where she continues to apply her expertise in audiology.
