Jonathan J. Suen, AuD, is the first audiologist in the PhD program at the Johns Hopkins School of Nursing (JHSON) where he researches healthy aging and health equity through studying hearing loss and loneliness in older adults. He serves as an advisory board member with the 2022 American Journal of Public Health’s (AJPH) Student Think Tank and as an associate in the R3 Science Communications Leadership Program at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health (BSPH). Beyond activities for scholarship, he’s remained active in leading initiatives for promoting equity and inclusion in higher education and received back-to-back annual honors (2021-2022) for his various works from the Diversity Leadership Council of the Johns Hopkins Office of Diversity and Inclusion.
Suen received an F31 award from the National Institute on Aging (NIA/NIH) to support his transdisciplinary doctoral training and earned a certificate in Gerontology from the BSPH. He previously completed a postdoctoral fellowship with Frank Lin, MD, PhD, where he co-developed a novel community-based delivery model of hearing care through academic-community partnerships in Baltimore (HEARS) . He is currently co-advised by Jennifer Wenzel, PhD, MS, RN at the JHSON and Frank Lin at the Cochlear Center for Hearing and Public Health.
