This course explores recent research in younger and middle-aged adults with normal hearing to understand speech perception challenges. This course will cover different methods, including EEG, pupillometry, and computational modeling.
This course is presented by AudiologyOnline in partnership with AVAA.
Upcoming Live Webinars
CEUs/Hours Offered: BAA/1.0; CAA/1.0; SAC/1.0
Learning Outcomes
- After this course, participants will be able to explain 3 potential sources of speech perception problems in adults with normal hearing.
- After this course, participants will be able to analyze pupillary responses as an index of effortful listening.
- After this course, participants will be able to describe why accuracies on speech perception tests do not provide the fullpicture of listening abilities.

PhD
Dr. Jacie McHaney is a Research Assistant Professor in Roxelyn and Richard Pepper Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders at Northwestern University. She is interested in the neural mechanisms underlying speech processing. She received her PhD from the University of Pittsburgh where she studied self-perceived listening difficulties in adults with normal hearing. Jacie uses a combination of neurophysiological, behavioral, and cognitive computational neuroscience approaches to study speech perception challenges in adults without overt hearing loss.
