HearPeers Heroes Kylie Posted January 24, 2021 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted January 24, 2021 As we spoke about tonight with my terrific CI program here in Perth - this is my audiologist, with her special interest in SSD. https://www.spinnakerhealth.org.au/our-impact/dayses-story/ https://research-repository.uwa.edu.au/en/persons/dayse-tavora-vieira/publications/ Someone might glean further info from her publications listed above!

It occurred to me (after Kirk signed off) that if he's still struggling with his rehab AND assuming that's he's going to travel outside Japan to get an English-speaking audiologist, that going to Perth to Kylie's clinic might not be a bad idea.

HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted January 24, 2021 Author HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted January 24, 2021 @Mary Featherston I had the same thought! @Kirk S..... maybe a future trip to Perth, Australia??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Kirk S. Posted January 25, 2021 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted January 25, 2021 Hi Mary Beth, Kylie, et al. Thanks for the great chat on Sunday. I enjoyed it and I learned at lot, as always. Enjoying and learning are equally important in my book! Thanks also for the links for Kylie’s audiologist. I researched some Info about her last year, so I know she’s considered a top SSD specialist. I’ve already looked through a couple of her academic papers and I will pass them along to my audiologist in Tokyo. Like many professionals in Japan, my audiologist (Kubota-san) can read and write English reasonably well (especially within her professional specialty), but can’t actually speak the language worth a darn! Considering that more than 98% of the people who live in Japan are born and raised in Japan, there’s little incentive for anyone her to actually learn how to SPEAK English. So that’s a little challenging. But, the food’s great! Look forward to our next chat next month. Best, Kirk Joan, Mary Featherston and Mary Beth 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
