Clinic for Adult Hearing

The Department of Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences is home to a thriving, state of the art, adult hearing clinic. Graduate students in Audiology, in conjunction with doctoral-level clinical audiologists, see patients with a wide variety of hearing and balance disorders. As a training institution, we are committed to provision of services using the latest evidence-based protocols and equipment. Faculty and students in the CAH actively participate in research to help determine best practice. Past and ongoing research projects are and have been in the areas of digital processing and feedback management in hearing aids, determination of hearing aid benefit, hearing aid management with dementia, and otoacoustic emissions with high frequency hearing loss. Frequent review of the current research literature allows for up to date student training and insures the best possible patient care.
