Our research is broadly concerned with peripheral auditory physiology, pathophysiology, and cochlear mechanics. We seek to more thoroughly understand the complex mammalian auditory periphery to improve the diagnosis and treatment of congenital and acquired disorders affecting human hearing.

Currently, our lab relies on non-invasive measures of auditory function in humans to address various questions related peripheral mechanics, cochlear deafferentation, and the functional consequences of subclinical auditory damage.
