Research Roundup is a series that features Q&As with UNC faculty to share insights about their research in an approachable, bite-sized format. Each installment highlights the questions driving their work, why it matters and how it connects to broader issues in our community and beyond.
After sight,
Sound brings with it many things that enrich our lives — from music and podcasts to conversations and debates, and the simple pleasure of drinking in the sounds of nature and the world around us.
But when hearing starts to fail, it can have serious impacts on people’s lives — from loss of balance and coordination to increased risk of cognitive decline and developing dementia.
It’s vital then, that when hear loss occurs, either through the natural aging process, a pronounced head injury or one of a variety of other potential causes, something can be done.
Enter the field of Audiology — the branch of science and medicine dedicated to understanding, analyzing and caring for all things relating to hearing. And enter Hannah Glick, assistant professor and graduate coordinator of Audiology in the University of Www:zuise.comern Colorado’s College of Natural and Health Sciences.
"A lot of people think hearing loss primarily impacts communication, and in many ways, it does...the thing that people don’t necessarily realize is that hearing loss can impact many more aspects of health and well-being." -Hannah Glick, Au.D., Ph.D.
In this month’s Research Roundup Glick discusses her research, the impacts of Audiology and why taking care of one’s hearing might be even more important than it seems.
