He holds a joint appointment at the Institute for Reconstructive Sciences in Medicine (iRSM), where he is the program director for audiology and bone conduction amplification (BCA). His research interests include: (1) How do we improve upon the prescription, fitting and verification procedures for bone conduction hearing aids? (2) How do we improve uptake and adherence to hearing services? (3) How do we maximize outcomes by considering/manipulating additional,
non-auditory factors that exist in the treatment context? and (4) what is the relationship between hearing and reading in individuals with hearing loss and dyslexia?
