| Research Interests: In the Auditory Physiology Laboratory lab, we study the hearing mechanisms of the auditory periphery, the inner ear, in order to develop more efficient clinical tools for differential diagnosis of hearing losses of various origins. An important aspect of inner ear function is its transduction of sound to electrical signal. Therefore, the research in this lab is focused on measuring the transduction process of the inner ear using noninvasive methods, such as, otoacoustic emissions and auditory evoked potentials. In animal models of different inner ear pathologies, cochlear transduction and hearing loss are assessed by analyzing the otoacoustic emissions and evoked potentials. Characteristic of changes in these physiologic measures due to known inner ear pathology will lay a foundation for future clinical applications of these techniques. | |
