Understanding why cochlear implant outcomes vary so dramatically and developing personalized approaches to close the gap.
University of South Alabama
Measuring auditory nerve survival patterns and understanding how neural degeneration limits what cochlear implant users can perceive.
Developing personalized electrical stimulation strategies tailored to each patient's unique auditory system.
Mapping the limits of pitch sensitivity and spectral resolution to understand why music and speech in noise remain challenging.
We're working to understand the biological and technical factors that drive variability in cochlear implant performance and translating that knowledge into better clinical outcomes.
