Interview with Patricia Roush, AuD
Get some insights on the work of the PAB and the implications for pediatric audiology in this short video.
The PAB gives me the chance to share and exchange knowledge and experiences with colleagues from different countries. I am grateful to connect with such passionate colleagues who have similar goals of helping children with hearing loss.
Global experts guiding best-practice pediatric hearing care
The Phonak Advisory Board brings together pediatric audiologists, hearing scientists, researchers, and a parent representative to ensure the perspectives of families of children with hearing loss are represented.
Members are based around the world, including the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, Switzerland, and South Africa.
The Board supports Phonak Pediatrics in several ways, including:
- Chairing and shaping scientific programs for Phonak international pediatric conferences in Europe and North America
- Contributing to research discussions and priorities in pediatric audiology
- Developing Pediatric Focus papers to support clinicians fitting hearing technology for children and adolescents
- Advising on Phonak Target fitting protocols and feature development for pediatric hearing instruments
- Providing guidance on best practices and technology needs across childhood and adolescence
- Sharing perspectives informed by clinical, research, and lived experience
One of the important contributions of the PAB is the organization of international pediatric audiology conferences. These conferences address important and timely topics that can advance evidence-based service to children and their families.
