 There are currently an estimated 466 million people living with disabling hearing loss globally and we're really excited because we hope this course will help provide development of accessible hearing services worldwide. There is so much I'm learning every day and especially with technology. It's only a field that's going to be ever expanding so it's really interesting. I think it's going to be a really amazing future for audiology. Teaching staff here at UWA are absolutely amazing. They have really provided me with the support and guidance to help me achieve my goals in audiology. Not only are they your lifelong mentors but they also become your lifelong friends. UWA audiology has links with national and international research groups in audiology so we can offer a wide range of research experiences. In addition I think the research project offers a really exciting possibility for international students to use this time to develop language specific tools and assessments in the area of audiology. Being in this course makes me realise how big the impact of hearing loss on people's lives. So what I want to do when I'm going back to Indonesia is to raise the awareness about hearing loss, how important it is to treat it early on. The UWA campus is simply beautiful. It is so greeny and it's only a few minutes walk from Kings Park and then Matilda Bay. It's very convenient for an international student like me to go around. It's a very rewarding area of research to get into because you have the patient interaction and you also have the emotional connection with your patient. And as a student seeing the real world impact of my research is really fulfilling and motivates me to pursue further research in cochlear implants. It's really an amazing profession to be a part of and I feel like you would never get bored studying audiology. There are so many avenues you can go down within that field. It's really amazing.
