About
Biography
I am the scientific director for Audiology in the Communication Sciences Research Center at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center, and a professor of Otolaryngology and Communication Sciences and Disorders at the University of Cincinnati.
I have more than 25 years of pediatric clinical, research, and teaching experience. A graduate and former faculty member of the University of Cincinnati and the University of Minnesota, I developed and directed the AuD program at the University of Utah. I was a visiting scientist at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden, and have volunteered in Kenya on audiologic missions at a school for the deaf.
I have authored more than 90 published articles, chapters, and books in pediatric audiology and frequently lecture nationally and internationally, as well as serve on expert panels and task forces. I am currently conducting studies on a range of pediatric hearing loss, funded by the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). I also serve as chair of the Accreditation Commission for Audiology Education (ACAE).
