Her PhD project seeks to contribute with an increased focus on how sound environments affect our quality of life, new qualitative knowledge on how tinnitus is experienced and managed in an everyday life perspective, and an exploration of the potential of sensory methods in ethnological research. She has a master’s degree in European Ethnology, and her areas of interest are health and disease, hearing and tinnitus, senses, aging, and disability studies.
