Biography
Current research:
NIHR MBRC Research Associate - Developing, Implementing and Evaluating a Culturally Competent Hearing Aid Clinic for Deaf British Sign Language (BSL) Signers
Deaf British Sign Language (BSL) signers face unique challenges when accessing National Health Service (NHS) hearing aid clinics. Recent research by Hulme et al. (2021, 2022 and 2023) and Hulme’s thesis (2022), funded by BRC 1 Hearing Health, has highlighted significant gaps in cultural competence, communication and service delivery for this population resulting in Deaf patients feeling that they are not getting the best out of their hearing aids for the purposes they identify as significant.
A Whole Service Cultural Competency Model for adult hearing aid services concerning Deaf signers has been conceptualised based on the integrated findings from Hulme’s PhD thesis (2022) and published (Hulme et al., 2023). While serving as a foundational conceptual framework, the next imperative is to transition towards its practical application through implementation and pilot initiatives to test its feasibility and acceptability to all stakeholders.
Building upon the research of Hulme et al., and aiming to address the identified issues, this project focuses on a selected number of practical implications of these findings. It centres around the design and implementation of a new hearing aid clinic tailored to the cultural perspectives and needs of adult Deaf hearing aid users.
