The effect of hearing loss and cochlear implantation on communication skills and, subsequently, social interaction in children and adolescents forms a primary focus of her programmatic research. Discerning variables associated with speech perception, speech production, language, and quality of life outcomes can drive changes in technology and therapy to yield optimized communication performance and life satisfaction for pediatric cochlear implant users.
