Research Interests: How various talker-related factors affect speech understanding in normal-hearing and hearing-impaired listeners, particularly in older adults with hearing loss. Projects include speech identification experiments and acoustic analyses using materials from a large, multi-talker (n = 41) database of clear and conversational speech (Ferguson, 2004).
