Philippa James

Philippa is an experienced audiologist who specialises in supporting patients of all
ages with listening difficulties, tinnitus, and sound sensitivities. She spent the first
four years of her audiology career at a small, independent audiology clinic in Hobart,
Tasmania where she had the opportunity to practice a wide range of audiologic
services including paediatric diagnostic audiology, auditory processing, adult aural
rehabilitation, and ENT outpatient audiology at the Royal Hobart Hospital.
  
From 2017, Philippa resumed a research position based at The University of
Melbourne where she worked with the global Phonak paediatric team and the
Sonova HQ Research & Development team to develop a best practice clinical model
for the identification and support of auditory differences in autistic children. Philippa
continues to conduct clinical research at the department of Audiology & Speech
Pathology at The University of Melbourne. She developed, and continues to run, a
specialised autism listening clinic there which identifies and supports auditory
concerns, including reduced sound tolerance conditions, in neurodivergent children
and adults.
