Biography
Teresa Y.C. Ching's research is dedicated to improving the lives and outcomes of children with hearing loss. The end goal is community-based strategies that effectively manage childhood hearing loss and associated conditions to reduce the impact of hearing loss on language, literacy, educational attainment, mental health, and quality of life.
My research focuses on investigating the effectiveness of early detection and intervention for populations of children with bilateral hearing loss or unilateral hearing loss, identifying factors affecting longitudinal outcomes to target intervention; devising and validating novel objective EEG and subjective behavioural methods for assessing sound discrimination ability in children and adults with hearing loss or auditory neuropathy; developing and evaluating methods for prescribing hearing aids and electric-acoustic stimulation (combining cochlear implants with hearing aids) for children and adults; and exploring perspectives of professionals and families on management of hearing loss in young children to inform family-centred practice in intervention. Recently, I have also developed and validated clinical tools for early detection of hearing and language problems in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children in Australia.
Professor Teresa Ching is Professorial Fellow at NextSense Institute (a centre for research and professional education operated by NextSense in affiliation with Macquarie University), and conjointly Professor of Education and Disability Studies in Macquarie School of Education.
