Yuhan graduated from the MSc Audiology programme at NUS in 2015 as part of the pioneering batch. She was a recipient of the Ministry of Health Holdings Healthcare Graduate Studies Award and worked as a clinical audiologist at Ng Teng Fong General Hospital (NTFGH) for five and a half years. In 2017, she spent two months at Ear Science Institute Australia training in implant audiology, under the Healthcare Manpower Development Program. Following this attachment, she served as the implant audiology lead at NTFGH, coordinating quarterly multidisciplinary team meetings and revising the protocols for implant services.
In 2021, Yuhan left her clinical role and joined the NUS Audiology team as a research associate with the Healthy Hearing, Healthy Ageing project. She was involved in questionnaire design for a quantitative study on help-seeking behaviours among the elderly population and in survey administration for the implementation phase of the boothless audiometry protocol.
Yuhan has also served actively in the community, volunteering her time toward hearing screening and public education events. As a committee member of the Society for Audiology Professionals (Singapore) since 2017, she has been involved in organizing educational events for the audiology community and overseeing the development of best practice guidelines to advocate for higher standards in clinical practice across Singapore.
In 2022, Yuhan was selected for a dual-award PhD studentship between the University of Manchester and the University of Melbourne to study the real-life benefits of hearing-preservation cochlear implantation (HPCI) in children. She hopes to return to NUS after her studies to teach in the MSc Audiology program.
