The Emerging Auditory Research Lab, led by Dr. Julie Arenberg, aims to improve the speech perception abilities of both paediatric and adult cochlear implant users. Our research uses a translational approach, using basic science to assess cochlea health and implant functioning, and more applied science to develop and evaluate programming methods for improved speech understanding. Dr. Julie Arenberg's research interests are auditory neuroscience, cochlear implants and clinical/translational audiology.
