Biography
Julie Beadle completed her PhD at the MARCS Institute for Brain, Behaviour and Development, Western Sydney University (Australia). Her PhD research focused on auditory-visual speech perception in noise for older and younger adults. As a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Adult Language Processing and Disorders Lab, University of British Columbia, Julie examined older and younger adults’ perceptions of hearing loss and aging, and communication strategies for persons who are deaf or hard of hearing and live in long-term care. At the SFU Gerontology Research Centre, Julie’s research will focus on the intersection of hearing loss, hearing aid use, cognition, and social isolation in older adults.
