Welcome to the Cognitive Hearing Laboratory.
We do scientific research to understand how the ear and brain work together to support thinking, remembering, and connecting with others.
At the moment, our focus is on what happens to the brain when hearing is lost through adulthood and into later life. Specifically, we’re interested in how hearing loss changes the way the brain ages, and how social and environmental factors play a role.
The knowledge we create can be used improve people’s health and well-being, to develop technologies that help human communication, and to design accessible spaces in which we live, work, and recreate.
The laboratory is a part of the Department of Psychology at Toronto Metropolitan University, in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
