My research is in auditory perception including psychological acoustics and speech perception in normally-hearing and hearing-impaired populations. I am particularly interested in elderly with relatively normal sensitivity and young listeners with normal sensitivity who have greater than normal difficulty in understanding speech in moderate conditions of noise and/or reverbation.
