I am an associate professor in the School of Audiology and Speech Sciences, Faculty of Medicine, at the University of British Columbia, and director of the Middle Ear Laboratory. My research focuses on improving how we assess auditory function beyond the conventional audiogram, particularly in middle-ear mechanics, wideband acoustic immittance, acoustic reflexes, otoacoustic emissions, extended high-frequency audiometry, speech-in-noise testing, and hidden hearing loss. Much of my work aims to connect laboratory-based physiological measures with real clinical problems, especially when patients report hearing difficulty despite normal standard test results. I am interested in developing more sensitive, meaningful, and clinically practical tools that help audiologists better understand cochlear, neural, and middle-ear contributions to hearing difficulties across the lifespan. Through my teaching, supervision, and research collaborations, I hope to contribute to a more evidence-based and patient-centered approach to diagnostic audiology.
