Auditory Sciences LaboratoriesAuditory Physiology Laboratory (Withnell, Shofner) Auditory Psychophysics Laboratory (Lentz) The Auditory Psychophysics Laboratory uses psychophysical methods to examine auditory perception in humans with and without hearing loss. Of primary interest is evaluating the effects of hearing loss on the abilities of listeners to separate sounds from a complex auditory environment. Computational models also are implemented and developed in this lab to further our understanding of sensorineural hearing loss. Auditory Research Laboratory (Humes) Developmental Speech Perception Laboratory (Holt) The research in this lab focuses on the development of perception, discrimination, and understanding of speech both in typically developing young children and those who use hearing aids and/or cochlear implants. As is typical in our field, our work has both basic and applied aspects to it. Current projects of a more basic research nature include using a developmentally appropriate discrimination procedure for investigating the internal representation of speech in young children; and examining the development of speech sound discrimination in typically developing infants and those who use hearing aids and/or cochlear implants. Our more applied research involves the continued development of an audiovisual speech recognition test for children with sensory aids, the Audiovisual Lexical Neighborhood Sentence Test (AV-LNST).
