My current project involves auditory evaluation and training of pitch processing in hearing aid users via behavioral testing and brain imaging tools of EEG and fNIRS. The project aims to estimate the effects of hearing aid fitment and to help improve auditory and speech functions in hearing aid users. I am supervised by Professor Peter Howell and Professor Stuart Rosen.
