In a new episode of the ASHA Voices podcast, Dr. Matthew Goupell, professor in the Department of Hearing and Speech Sciences and co-director of the Center for the Comparative Evolutionary Biology of Hearing, shares his latest research on bilateral cochlear implants about what’s working well today and the improvements he hopes to see in the future. Joining him is Dr. Brian Monson from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, who discusses extended high frequencies (above 8,000 Hz) and how they may offer early clues to hearing loss. Together, they shed light on how the sounds around us influence spatial awareness, speech in noisy environments, and hearing health. This conversation is part of ASHA Voices’ annual coverage of the ASHA Research Symposium on Hearing at the ASHA Convention. We congratulate Dr. Goupell on this opportunity to showcase his expertise and the impact of his work in hearing science.
