This researcher studies how hearing and the brain's processing of sound change with age, particularly in middle-aged adults with normal hearing thresholds. Their work focuses on why some people struggle to understand speech in noisy environments, examining factors like cochlear nerve damage (cochlear neural degeneration), listening effort, and how the brain encodes pitch and speech sounds. The research combines behavioral testing, neural recordings, and pupil measurements (as an indicator of mental effort) to understand hidden hearing difficulties that don't show up on standard hearing tests.
Publication output was modest and variable from 2017-2023 but increased sharply in 2024-2025, suggesting a recent growth phase in research activity.
