Meet the Team

  • Simon Ly

    Audiologist

    After completing a Masters of Clinical Audiology at the University of Queensland, I joined Earbus Foundation as a graduate.

    At the Hear Today Clinic I provide clinical services to infants and children. I also perform hearing tests in regional and remote schools and at private maternity hospitals in Perth as part of the Earbus Newborn Hearing Program.

  • Adelina Duncan

    Audiologist

    I completed my Master's in Clinical Audiology at the University of Melbourne in 2020. I am passionate about children's ear health and hearing (functional and peripheral), especially for those most at risk.

    I provide clinical services to infants and children at the Hear Today Clinic, as well as at schools and hospitals across WA to ensure best outcomes for children and their families. 

  • Vijay Sivaramalingam

    Audiologist

    I am a qualified and experienced Audiologist with over eight years of experience in the private sector in identifying, diagnosing, treating and monitoring disorders related to hearing.

    I am dedicated to improving the quality of life of the hearing impaired by providing a full range of audiology services, with the goal of achieving optimal patient care.

  • Tess Anderson

    Paediatric Audiologist

    I graduated from the University of Western Australia in 2022 with a Masters of Clinical Audiology, starting my career in adult rehabilitation before joining Earbus in 2024.  

    My passion for audiology stems from my own personal journey with hearing impairment after losing hearing in my right ear due to contracting meningococcal meningitis at 16 months old.  Audiologists have played a big role in my life and it is such a joy to help others with hearing loss and ear health issues across Western Australia. 

  • Joanna Tsai

    Graduate Audiologist

    I graduated with a Master of Clinical Audiology degree from the University of Melbourne and am deeply passionate about paediatric audiology.

    I conduct hearing assessments for children from early childhood through to adolescence across metropolitan and regional schools. I am committed to delivering patient-centred care and ensuring that each child has the best possible opportunity to hear clearly and comfortably. In addition, I also perform newborn hearing screenings at private hospitals in Perth.

  • Ying Zhu

    Graduate Audiologist

    I graduated with a Master of Clinical Audiology from the University of Western Australia. During my placements, I discovered my passion for paediatric audiology, which inspired me to focus on working with children.

    In my role at Earbus, I perform newborn hearing screenings and paediatric testing for children of all ages in hospitals and clinics in both Perth metro and regional areas. I am excited to apply my skills and experience to improve the wellbeing of children in our state.
