About Siobhan

Siobhan McGinnity is a clinical audiologist on a mission to make the world a better place by improving hearing care. She’s a Ph.D. candidate who is doing research into the prevention of hearing injuries in the music industry. Siobhan is passionate about hearing health because of her own health challenges. Siobhan has Ménière’s disease, which affects her balance and her hearing. After taking some time to look after herself, she’s back on her feet and helping others again. Siobhan loves art and helping people with their hearing. She’s super creative and smart, always finding new ways to solve problems and learn more. And at the core of everything she does is communication. She wants to make sure that everyone can talk and listen to each other, just like we do with our friends and family.
