Juliette Sterkens, AuD is a professional audiologist who has shared her knowledge of hearing loss with organizations across the upper Midwest.  In her lecture she will highlight the advances in hearing technology, hearing rehabilitation, and assistive listening. She will also share answers to commonly asked questions about hearing loss and rehabilitation, as well as answering questions directly from the audience.

Dr. Sterkens has more than four decades of experience in audiology, hearing rehabilitation, and assistive listening. Since 2012, she’s been on an encore career as a consumer and assistive-listening consultant with the Hearing Loss Association of America, thanks to special grant funding.  She has received several awards for her work, including the American Academy of Audiology Presidential Award and the Wisconsin Audiologist of the Year Award. She lives in Oshkosh, WI and serves on the board of HEAR-in-the-Fox Cities, a nonprofit that helps pay for hearing aids for children in Northeast Wisconsin. Locally, she has worked with members of the Madison chapter of Hearing Loss Association of America (HLAA).
