Research summary
AI-generated

Michael G. Heinz studies how the ear and auditory nervous system encode sound, with a focus on hearing loss caused by noise exposure, aging, and damage to specific inner-ear cells. His work combines animal models (chinchillas) and human studies, using physiological recordings and computational models to understand how hearing damage degrades the neural representation of speech and other sounds.
