OUR PEOPLE

Andre joined our team in 2014 following the completion of a Masters in Clinical Audiology at the University of Western Australia. Andre earned a Doctor of Philosophy degree from the UWA School of Medicine and Surgery for his research on brain changes following cochlear implantation. Andre is also a registered Physiotherapist specialising in the diagnosis and rehabilitation of balance disorders. His skillset is unique and an invaluable addition to our practice.

Andre’s aim is to combine his knowledge of hearing and balance disorders with physiotherapy to provide high-level evidence-based care in auditory and vestibular management. His interests in this field have lead him to undergo further training in cochlear implants and other implantable devices. Andre’s previous research focused on improving clinical tests for newly recognised balance disorders.

Andre is continuing his research in the fields of cortical mapping, cochlear implants and tinnitus with Fiona Stanley Hospital, collaborating worldwide with leading audiologists and Ear, Nose and Throat specialists.

Anne holds a Bachelor of Science and a Postgraduate Diploma of Audiology from Curtin University.

Upon graduation in 1998, Anne worked at Princess Margaret Hospital for Children where she became proficient in paediatric hearing assessments and electrophysiological testing. Subsequently Anne joined Medical Audiology Services in 2002 and enjoyed working with both adults and paediatric patients to find tailored solutions for their hearing loss.

In 2005, Anne established a hearing implant programme at Medical Audiology Services and became passionate about implantable hearing solutions. This led Anne to commence employment as a Senior Consultant with an international implant company where she expanded her expertise in this specialised area. Anne re-joined Medical Audiology Services to continue providing the highest level of paediatric and adult hearing health care. In addition to hearing rehabilitation, Anne’s specialties are paediatric testing, electrophysiological testing and implants.
