Hearing Dynamics Lab

In the Hearing Dynamics Lab, researchers study the effects of hearing loss in children and adults as well as aspects of normal hearing development. Currently, researchers are pursuing three areas of research: spatial listening and learning, hearing aids and other hearing technologies, and the development of new tests for hearing loss intervention. The goal is to assist audiologists in the care and management of their patients.
