Investigators and Laboratories Available to Clinical+Research Externship Students
Research focuses on quantifying the aspects of perception, cognition, and linguistic knowledge that limit speech recognition in listeners with cochlear implants.
The work in this laboratory is concerned with the study of vestibular disorders, including their diagnosis and treatment.
Research in this lab focuses on development of the perceptual and linguistic mechanisms underlying adults and children’s ability to use visual speech to compensate for noisy listening environments. Current research is also examining the effects of hearing aid compression on the temporal characteristics of audiovisual speech.
This research program is concerned with enhancing speech and language outcomes in children with hearing loss by improving audibility based predictions of speech recognition.
Research in this laboratory uses clinical audiological assessments combined with experimental measures to improve the understanding and diagnosis of various auditory pathologies, particularly those impacting children.
This lab studies language and literacy acquisition in children with hearing loss, with a focus on sound-based skills that impact academic outcomes.
This research lab studies the development of auditory behavior in children with normal hearing and children with hearing loss, with a focus on understanding how infants and children with Down syndrome hear and recognize speech in the presence of background noise.
This lab studies the development of functional hearing, including spatial hearing and speech perception, in complex everyday indoor environments in children with normal hearing and those with cochlear implants.
