[00:00:00.000]So, right after college, I
[00:00:01.634]decided I wanted to go into
[00:00:03.636]some type of health, healthcare field,
[00:00:05.605]um, but I wasn't quite sure which one.
[00:00:07.807]Uh, so I just, uh
[00:00:09.676]took a look at different jobs, um
[00:00:11.778]uh, and then
[00:00:13.213]throughout my gap year, I started to work in research.
[00:00:16.316]It was a surprise that it was auditory research.
[00:00:18.852]It was in a speech, uh, recognition lab.
[00:00:21.554]And, um
[00:00:23.323]that's where I started to learn about audiology,
[00:00:25.492]and I went ahead and, um
[00:00:27.227]uh, talked to different audiologists,
[00:00:30.063]um, observed in the clinic, and
[00:00:33.333]that really kicked in and then I
[00:00:35.468]decided to, uh, go into graduate school.
[00:00:37.637]So, my capstone project looks
[00:00:38.938]at, uh, fatigue in individuals with vestibular loss.
[00:00:42.409]We took a
[00:00:43.109]a look at three different characteristics,
[00:00:45.011]such as sleep,
[00:00:46.513]aerobic fitness,
[00:00:47.547]and then cognitive, uh, fatigue.
[00:00:49.816]And then, um, we just wanted to
[00:00:51.785]see how fatigue affects those individuals
[00:00:54.254]in their daily lives.
[00:00:56.056]Um, so we took a look at how
[00:00:58.525]their sleep, um, changes
[00:01:00.860]throughout the, uh, the week
[00:01:02.562]or throughout their time that they
[00:01:03.830]participate in the study.
[00:01:05.432]Um, and then we also did some
[00:01:07.133]laboratory measures
[00:01:08.234]and we had them come in and then
[00:01:09.636]uh, do a couple aerobic fitness measures
[00:01:12.005]and then some cognitive and balance measures.
[00:01:14.607]So, we found that um
[00:01:16.910]people with vestibular loss
[00:01:18.211]do, uh, report increased fatigue,
[00:01:21.247]uh, especially when it comes to sleep.
[00:01:23.483]Their sleep patterns are all over the place
[00:01:26.052]um, when you compare them
[00:01:27.587]to a neurotypical person
[00:01:29.756]or, uh, a person without vestibular loss.
[00:01:32.559]Um, and so we hope to
[00:01:34.794]be able to um
[00:01:36.396]use some of the questionnaires and
[00:01:37.764]some of the questions that we included in our study
[00:01:40.166]to better
[00:01:40.967]um identify those people that
[00:01:42.936]do suffer from
[00:01:44.304]uh fatigue and
[00:01:45.772]and have vestibular loss.
[00:01:47.507]And then hopefully
[00:01:48.441]that'll um help
[00:01:49.909]provide better
[00:01:50.910]treatment for those individuals
[00:01:52.345]when they come into the clinic.
[00:01:53.480]So, I think
[00:01:54.080]uh research really helps me
[00:01:56.116]um think ahead.
[00:01:57.584]Um I like to um
[00:01:59.619]be able to identify some
[00:02:00.920]uh problems that we have in the clinic
[00:02:02.989]and then find ways to
[00:02:04.924]solve those problems in a way.
[00:02:06.893]Um and I think that does um
[00:02:09.395]make us think about those different research questions
[00:02:11.598]that we can apply
[00:02:12.799]in the laboratory and then
[00:02:14.868]um transfer them into the clinic.
