    My research is centered around identifying the auditory, cognitive, and linguistic processes that support speech recognition, using an interdisciplinary and computational approach. My current work focuses on understanding how aging and hearing loss affects speech processing in acoustic and electric hearing (i.e., cochlear implant recipients), by examining age- and hearing loss-related changes in auditory function. In addition, I am interested in characterizing the auditory, cognitive, and linguistic processes that underlie (un)successful foreign-accented speech recognition among native and non-native listeners with normal and impaired hearing. The long-term goal is to translate knowledge from this basic research into clinical strategies to optimize speech understanding for older people, people with hearing loss, and second language learners.
