The Hearing Journal






All-Star Editorial Team


Meet HJ’s All-Star Editorial Line-up

Many publications cover the hearing healthcare field, but when it comes to the quality of its editorial team, The Hearing Journal stands alone at the top! No other journal can match the group of distinguished audiologists who contribute regularly to The Hearing Journal. Their columns and other articles in HJ and the editorial guidance they provide make our publication the most authoritative and up-to-date source of practical information available to today’s hearing healthcare practitioner. No wonder we have over 22,000 subscribers, the largest circulation in the field.

As an editor of newspapers and journals for the past 30 years and Editor-in-Chief of HJ since 1990, I know that it takes an outstanding team to publish a great journal. I am proud to present The Hearing Journal team, the best in the hearing industry.
