Vinaya Manchaiah, AuD, PhD

I have three key priorities when I am with my patients. First, diagnose and treat hearing and balance disorders using up-to-date evidence-based approaches. Second, to educate patients about all the treatment options and their advantage/limitations and discuss how they may fit with each patient and their family members health priorities/goals. Finally, to be fully invested in serving my patients who trust me in caring for them by staying in the present moment.

Research Interests for Patients

My primary research goal is to improve accessibility, affordability, and outcomes of hearing healthcare services for older adults with hearing loss by promoting self-management and also use of digital technologies. My past and current research can be summarized along the following four themes: (1) eHealth (or Telehealth); (2) Consumer Health Informatics; (3) Hearing healthcare service delivery model; and (4) Psychosocial aspects of hearing loss. I co-lead the Virtual Hearing Lab (www.virtualhearinglab.org) with Prof. De We Wet Swanepoel. The Virtual Hearing Lab is an interdisciplinary collaborative research initiative with the aim to improve hearing health access, affordability, and outcomes by capitalizing on the internet, virtual spaces, and digital health.
