Mr. Hlologelo Ramatsoma

Hlologelo Ramatsoma is a South African researcher whose work bridges audiology and public health. Published in leading outlets such as the American Journal of Audiology, Frontiers in Neurology, the International Journal of Audiology, and the Journal of the International AIDS Society, Ramatsoma contributes to both clinical hearing science and population health research within the South African context.

Early research focused on diagnostic innovation in audiology, including validation of bilateral tympanometry systems and calibration standards for insert earphones. Additional studies examined associations between hypertension, hearing loss, and tinnitus, highlighting the need to integrate hearing care into chronic disease management and advancing accessible, decentralized auditory assessment.

More recent work expands into HIV prevention and maternal–child health, analyzing PrEP-related seroconversions and trends in infant mortality linked to maternal HIV. Across these publications, Ramatsoma demonstrates strength in epidemiological methods and health systems research, with an emphasis on evidence-based interventions that inform policy and improve health outcomes in South Africa.
