Auditory Research at 黑料网 Health
黑料网 Cochlear Implant Research Lab
Dr. Meg Dillon directs聽黑料网鈥檚 Cochlear Implant Research Lab, with her colleagues Drs. Lisa Park, Gretta Richter, Amanda Sloop, and Samantha Scharf. Their current research focuses on outcomes of cochlear implantation in children and adults with residual hearing and unilateral hearing loss, procedures for optimizing mapping procedures, and effects of age at implantation on outcomes.
Drs. Emily Buss and John Grose oversee research conducted in the and PEARL laboratories. This team uses behavioral methods and electrophysiology to study hearing in humans across the lifespan. Their research interests include effects of development, aging, speech perception under challenging listening conditions, spatial hearing, and perception of basic aspects of sound.
Dr. Paul Manis maintains a program research evaluating . Drs. Michael Kasten and PhD student Reginald Edwards聽also conduct their research in this lab. This team studies the cochlear nucleus in animals, utilizing a range of electrophysiological and optogenetic stimulation techniques to determine the properties of defined cell types and damage associated with noise or age.
