Sean went on to study psychology science at Carleton University, obtaining his Bachelor of Science degree with highest honours. He now holds a Masters of Science Degree in Audiology and Speech Sciences, from the University of British Columbia- Vancouver Campus. Sean lives with his wife and baby daughter, happy to be back to Ottawa to be close to family.
Sean is dedicated to applying current audiology research in the private practice setting and has already implemented advanced testing like multi-frequency tympanometry. He has developed a clinical protocol for cochlear dead region assessments. Sean has enjoyed using advanced diagnostic testing and electro-physiologic equipment that is not found in traditional hearing aid clinics. As a graduate of UBC, Sean has a strong theoretical background in electrophysiological testing and aural rehabilitation. His current interests in the clinical setting include implementing a computer based aural rehabilitation program, cochlear dead region testing, industrial / recreational noise damage education, tinnitus evaluations, comprehensive counseling, and of course, hearing aid evaluations/prescriptions/verifications. He is currently exploring Clinical Doctorate Programs and hopes to soon be working towards the AuD. Sean is excited to work with such advanced equipment and a clinic that embraces technology and views patient care as paramount. He is looking forward to a long and successful career as an Audiologist at the Advanced group of clinics.
As a student, Sean wrote:
“I had the opportunity to work with Rodney, Caryn, Mel, and the rest of the Advanced Hearing team during one of my academic rotations for my MSc. in Audiology. I was immediately impressed by the dedication to current hearing research demonstrated by the clinical Doctors of Audiology at Advanced. They are constantly looking for the most reliable and accurate assessment methods and applying them in practice. They are engaging in diverse and specialized audiological services that would not usually be found in a typical hearing aid clinic. In terms of audiological services, the wealth of professional knowledge and experience at this location is second to none in Canada, and maybe even in North America. The amplification services provided at Advanced is highly motivated by evidence based practice and matching the listening needs of patients. I would like to give my heartfelt thanks to Rodney Taylor and the rest of the Advanced team for working with passion to help their patients hear to the best of their abilities. I have learned so much from all of you.”
