Teresa Y.C. Ching's research is dedicated to improving lives and outcomes of deaf and hard of hearing children. The end goal is to create community-based strategies that effectively manage childhood hearing loss and associated conditions, thereby reducing the impact on language, literacy, educational attainment, mental health, and quality of life. Her research focuses on investigating the effectiveness of early detection and intervention in populations of children who are deaf or hard of hearing, identifying factors that affect longitudinal outcomes, and targeting interventions. She is also involved in devising and validating novel objective EEG and subjective behavioral methods to assess sound discrimination ability in children and adults who are deaf or hard of hearing. Furthermore, she develops and evaluates methods for prescribing hearing aids and electric-acoustic stimulation for children and adults, while exploring the perspectives of professionals and families to inform family-centered intervention. Professor Ching has developed validated clinical tools for the early detection of hearing and language problems specifically for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children in Australia. She is a Professorial Fellow at the NextSense Institute and holds a conjoint professorship in Education Disability Studies in the Macquarie School of Education, along with an honorary professorship at the University of Queensland until December 2027.
