Research Synopsis
My research investigates how hearing impaired individuals learn to identify the location of a talker and understand what is being said in complex listening situations such as the prototypical cocktail party. Auditory assistive devices, like hearing aids and cochlear implants corrupt the information that is vital for localization and intelligibility. By integrating mathematical modeling, signal processing, and psychology it is possible to investigate both how auditory assistive devices corrupt the information and the techniques that listeners develop to cope with being presented corrupted information.Recent Publications
