Auditory Aging Team

2024-05-28_lab_webpage.jpg

At the Auditory Aging Lab, we study how hearing and the brain change across the lifespan. Our interdisciplinary team combines expertise in psychology, neuroscience, and engineering to explore how aging affects auditory perception, cognition, and communication. Using advanced behavioral, neuroimaging, and social sciences methods, we aim to uncover the experiences and mechanisms that support successful listening in everyday life and promote healthy auditory aging.
