Jonathan J. Suen, AuD, is currently a PhD candidate at the Johns Hopkins School of Nursing (JHSON) where his research examines the relationship between hearing loss and loneliness in older adults through a mixed methods design. Following his clinical studies in audiology at Gallaudet University, he completed a postdoctoral fellowship with Dr. Frank Lin where he developed a novel community-based delivery model of hearing care through innovative academic-community partnerships. Through his activities at the JHSON's Center for Innovative Care in Aging, he fostered an interest in healthy aging, health equity, and behavioral interventions. He is currently co-advised by Dr. Jennifer Wenzel at the JHSON and Dr. Frank Lin at the Cochlear Center for his PhD training.
