Biography & Research:
Julia Sarant is an audiologist and a Professor in the Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Health Sciences at The University of Melbourne. She has 30 years of experience in clinical research and leads the Hearing Loss and Cognition Program in the Department of Audiology and Speech Pathology. Her current research program is exploring whether treatment of hearing loss (with hearing aids or cochlear implants) can either delay decline or even improve cognitive function. She is also investigating medical comorbidities and markers/predictors of hearing loss, including neuroimaging studies to investigate the relationship between hearing loss-related brain pathology and dementia.
