Communication at the core

We are excited to share UBC Faculty of Medicine’s recent story on how the School has been actively supporting people with hearing difficulties and speech and language disorders for 50 years!

Read an excerpt below:

“I remember inserting the hearing aid and adjusting the volume for my elderly client — her eyes went wide as she looked over to her daughter, and then they both began to cry. It was the first time she had heard her daughter’s voice in that way,” recalls Shyng, an audiologist.

Reducing barriers for people with hearing loss and deafness has been a primary focus of Shyng’s career for more than two decades.

A graduate of UBC’s School of Audiology and Speech Sciences, she’s one of nearly 1,000 alumni actively supporting people with hearing difficulties and speech and language disorders throughout B.C. and across Canada.
