Rate My Professor Robyn Choi

Dr Robyn Choi is a Senior Lecturer and Head of the Department of Audiology in the School of Human Sciences at The University of Western Australia. She holds a Bachelor of Science from the University of Auckland, a Master of Clinical Audiology and a PhD from the University of Queensland, along with professional credentials MAudA (CCP) and FHEA. Dr Choi also serves as an Honorary Research Associate at The Kids Research Institute Australia (formerly Telethon Kids Institute) and as Senior Audiologist in the Audiology Department at Fiona Stanley Hospital. She is the Program Director for the Master of Clinical Audiology at UWA.

Her research interests center on paediatric audiology, particularly the early detection and management of middle ear disorders such as otitis media and auditory processing disorders. Dr Choi explores the impact of hearing impairments on children's learning and classroom participation, developing interventions and telehealth models to improve access to services in underserved areas. Additional focuses include simulation-based clinical education for audiology students and enhancing clinical decision-making through reflective practice. Notable publications include 'Learning difficulties and auditory processing deficits in a clinical sample of primary school-aged children' (International Journal of Audiology, 2020), 'Hearing and Auditory Processing Abilities in Primary School Children with Learning Difficulties' (Ear and Hearing, 2019), 'Rates of hearing loss in primary school children in Australia: A systematic review' (Speech, Language and Hearing, 2017), 'Wideband absorbance among Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander and non-Aboriginal children with suspected otitis media living in an Australian urban area' (Ear and Hearing, 2026), and 'A hospital-based asynchronous ENT telehealth service for children with otitis media: Cost-minimisation and improved access' (Journal of Telemedicine and Telecare, 2025). She has been awarded the School of Human Sciences Early-Career Research Award in 2022 and a Citation for Outstanding Contribution to Student Learning in 2021, recognizing her impact on research and teaching. Dr Choi's work advances evidence-based hearing health practices with significant implications for paediatric care in Australia.
