My overarching research goal is to optimize the rehabilitation process for listeners with hearing loss and to provide evidence-based training recommendations for clinicians. Towards this goal, I am the principal investigator of the ALLears (Auditory Language Learning) Laboratory at ΄σΟσ΄«Γ½ where I use behavioral and eye-tracking methodology to examine spoken language processing.<\/p>\n Drouin, J.R<\/strong>. & Theodore, R.M.
