Professional Bio
My research focuses on auditory disorders across the lifespan, with particular emphasis on the negative impact of auditory disorders on communication, language, learning, and reading. I study the prevalence and impact of auditory disorders in children and adults. I have developed new tests for clinical assessment of APD and a therapeutic approach for remediating children with a unilateral ear deficit during dichotic listening. To better understand the neurophysiology of normal and disordered auditory processing, I use electrophysiologic and functional magnetic resonance imaging methods to characterize levels of brain activation during auditory processing tasks.
