Jill Firszt, PhD: What should we know about SSD?
Dr. Jill Firszt is a Professor in Audiology and Communication Sciences at Washington University in St. Louis and has dedicated her career to understanding single-sided deafness and how it impacts those affected. During CI2024 in Vancouver, she was awarded the ACI Alliance 2024 Lifetime Achievement Award for her accomplishments. In this episode, you'll hear about the patient who got her interested in studying asymmetric hearing, how she manages patient care and expectations, and where she sees changes occurring over the next several years in how audiologists manage SSD.
