Dr. Dalia Tsimpida: Socioeconomic inequalities and hearing health in England 

Abstract – Dr Dalia Tsimpidais a postdoctoral researcher at The University of Manchester. She has an extensive background in hearing health in later life, health psychology, social epidemiology, health policy & health services planning, and multi-year experience in delivering innovative research on lifestyle factors in hearing loss. She received the International Society of Audiology Scholarship 2020 for her pioneering research findings on the prevention and early detection of hearing loss in primary care, and the Scientific Award 2021 in Computational Audiology. The negative impact of hearing loss is broader than sensory impairment, as it affects the mental wellbeing, the interpersonal interactions, and the participation of the individuals in society. In this talk she will be presenting the vicious cycle between socioeconomic inequalities and hearing health from birth to older adulthood, as depicted in the Model of Hearing Health Inequalities(HHI Model), and using existing evidence from the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing (ELSA).
